OWASP 2024 Global AppSec San Francisco

The security team plays a vital role in improving the security posture of an organization. However, it is equally important that the software developers contribute to securing all of the applications their organization creates and maintains. If there is an absence of trust and buy-in between security professionals and developers it can hinder progress, create vulnerabilities, and limit growth within organizations. In this thought-provoking talk, we look at the reasons behind a lack of trust and explore the importance of establishing buy-in and trust for success. We delve into why we cannot succeed without trust, effective strategies and tactics, and specific and actionable advice on what to do and what NOT to do. Together, let’s rebuild trust, mend grievances, and unlock our true potential for success by changing the way we run our AppSec programs.
