The future of secure software is going through a mix of skills expected of humans and skills files created for LLMs. We might even posit that appsec as a discipline will fade (and that might not even be a bad thing!). Keith Hoodlet describes the skil... more

So much of appsec's efforts can be consumed by vuln management and a race to patch security flaws. But that's more a symptom of the ease of scanning and the volume of CVEs. Erik Nost walks through the principles behind proactive security, why the con... more

    Clearly doesn’t know or understand java but still keeps yapping regardless. And don’t get me started on the gdpr episode... so much misinformation and stupidity in one location is rare.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Creating Better Security Guidance and Code with LLMs - Mark Curphey - ASW #374
Q: How do you ensure the guidance you give to models stays current and accurate, especially regarding OWASP?
He describes deliberately prioritizing authoritative sources over generic prompts, while also highlighting the need to continuously audit and update prompts with up-to-date data and to use prompts that steer models away from outdated OWASP guidance until validated.
Creating Better Security Guidance and Code with LLMs - Mark Curphey - ASW #374
Q: Tell us a little about your approach to writing secure code with LLMs and your view on OWASP guidance.
Mark explains a hands-on workflow where he uses agentic tools and a strong emphasis on test-driven development, architecture thinking, and alignment with authoritative data sources to guide LLMs. He argues for a human-in-the-loop approach and for augmenting, not replacing, human review—particularly when it comes to security guidance and code generation.
Modern AppSec that keeps pace with AI development - James Wickett - ASW #372
Q: What role does GoFix play in code modernization and AppSec?
GoFix demonstrates that language tooling can automatically modernize code and enforce internal style guides, offering a deterministic approach that reduces fragmentation and can improve security-readability, suggesting a path for broader adoption across languages.
Modern AppSec that keeps pace with AI development - James Wickett - ASW #372
Q: How does multi-agent AI collaboration affect code reviews and vulnerability discovery?
Multiple agents working in parallel provide broader coverage and context, enabling more comprehensive reviews, but also require careful management to avoid hallucinations and conflicting results; a baseline analysis plus differential review helps merge results effectively.
Modern AppSec that keeps pace with AI development - James Wickett - ASW #372
Q: What kinds of flaws are AI-generated code most likely to produce, and how does that differ from traditional patterns?
AI-generated code still produces classic issues like SQL injection and cross-site scripting, but there's a growing prevalence of logic flaws, authorization problems, and complex business-logic vulnerabilities that require deeper analysis beyond simple pattern matching.
