Meet Qwiet AI at Black Hat 2025! Schedule an executive meeting or join our Topgolf event on August 6.
Key Takeaways Claiming that AI alone is not sufficient proof is one thing; real value comes from demonstrating how AI actually functions, not merely stating that it exists. AI-washing erodes trust. Vague claims or superficial integrations damage credibility across the AppSec space. Agentic, transparent systems win. Teams should look for tools that integrate AI deeply, […]

Spring unauthenticated RCE via classLoader manipulation A critical zero-day vulnerability in the Spring framework was recently reported to Spring’s maintainer, VMWare. The vulnerability is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that affects Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux applications. You can find the CVE here. What is affected? The Spring4Shell RCE vulnerability allows attackers to execute code […]
There are plenty of good and popular caching libraries on the JVM, including ehcache, guava, and many others. However, in some situations it’s worth exploring other options. Maybe you need better performance. Or you want to allow the cache to grow and fill up the entire heap, yet shrink automatically when your application needs more […]
It is impossible to manage security posture without considering two key factors in any potential vulnerability or security flaw: reachability and risk. The two factors are related. Reachability defines the degree to which a given security vulnerability that is detected, such as a CVE, can actually be attacked and exploited to gain privileged access and […]
How can one measure and mitigate the security risks in open source software? This is a crucial topic that is now becoming a major issue in the software development community. In this chapter, we will dive into the work we have done at Google, in collaboration with Open Source Security Foundation (OSSF) to make it […]
With the increase of supply chain attacks on everything from logging software like Log4J to takeovers of important JavaScript packages to compromises of network utility tools like SolarWinds, more and more organizations are recognizing the need to adopt a Zero Trust mindset. Zero Trust can improve security, reduce risks, and give organizations greater confidence […]
The Open Source Software (OSS) Supply Chain is under attack. As evidenced by the recent Log4Shell vulnerability, the OSS supply chain is increasingly a focus for attackers seeking to exploit weak links in security. A number of research reports have recorded a significant increase in so-called “next-gen software supply chain attacks” over the past […]
25 vulnerabilities to look out for in Node JS applications: Directory traversal, prototype pollution, XSSI, and more… Securing applications is not the easiest thing to do. An application has many components: server-side logic, client-side logic, data storage, data transportation, API, and more. With all these components to secure, building a secure application can seem really […]

She is the Chair of the OWASP Global Board of Directors, and she also leads multiple infosec Diversity Initiatives like InfosecGirls. But how did she get from an infosec newbie to the leader of OWASP […]
The future of application security is in the cloud. Software development and application deployment continue to move from on-premise to various types of cloud environments. While the basics of application security (AppSec) carry over from on-premise, the cloud introduces new areas of complexity and a new set of requirements. AppSec best practices for the cloud […]
