The paradox of security and development speed

Security and reliability are foundational business needs, and focusing on them early can paradoxically accelerate the entire delivery lifecycle.

#2about 2 minutes

Optimizing for developer flow and experience

Security tools should be designed to preserve developer flow and minimize context switching to avoid making daily work miserable.

#3about 3 minutes

Integrating security across the development lifecycle

Security can be integrated at multiple stages, from initial project design and coding to the pre-commit and code review phases.

#4about 3 minutes

Understanding static analysis security testing (SAST)

Static analysis tools scan source code, infrastructure as code, containers, and dependencies to find vulnerabilities before the code is run.

#5about 4 minutes

Exploring dynamic analysis security testing (DAST)

Dynamic analysis tests running systems through techniques like web application scanning, API fuzzing, and overload testing to find runtime vulnerabilities.

#6about 3 minutes

Scaling AppSec teams by empowering developers

Shifting security responsibilities to developers helps the typically smaller AppSec team scale and focus on systemic architectural problems.

#7about 2 minutes

Future trends including AI and platform consolidation

The future of security involves AI-powered remediation and consolidated development platforms that embed security policies for the entire organization.

#8about 2 minutes

Key requirements for effective security tools

Modern security tools must be accurate to avoid false positives, provide context, and offer automated remediation to be truly effective.
