On February 15th, our friends at Semgrep hosted a meet up for the OWASP community at their beautiful office in San Francisco. Application security professionals and developers in the San Francisco tech community showed up to discuss what has been working for them, what isn’t working, and upcoming trends in the world of application security. In this short recap, we’ll explore some of the topics discussed by Semgrep’s Kyle Kelly and our very own Aviram Shmueli.

Are you concerned about the security of your AWS environment? With over 73% of businesses having at least one critical security misconfiguration, it's essential to take proactive measures to protect your data and applications. While AWS is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure, you are responsible for securing your data and applications in the cloud.

This blog article summarizes a talk given by David Melamed, Jit CTO, at Pycon DE & PyData 2022 in Berlin. In every software development project, before even writing the first line of code, you gotta pick an architecture for your repo. Picking an architecture is not easy. There are many tradeoffs that need to be considered and this choice will impact future development.

The success of any application or cloud security initiative depends on developer buy-in, so they can fix vulnerabilities before arriving in production. So why can it be challenging to empower developers to secure their code early? The answer is simple: security is usually slow. Developers are motivated to deliver innovative features faster than their competitors, so introducing new processes into the CI/CD pipeline that slow them down could understandably be met with resistance.
