In this live recording from BSidesSF we explore the factors that influence a secure design, talk about how to avoid the bite of UX dragons, and why designs should put classes of vulns into dungeons. But we can't threat model a secure design forever and we can't oversimplify guidance for a design to be "more secure". Kalyani Pawar and Jack Cable join the discussion to provide advice on evaluating secure designs through examples of strong and weak designs we've seen over the years. We highlight the importance of designing systems to serve users and consider what it means to have a secure design with a poor UX. As we talk about the strategy and tactics of secure design, we share why framing this as a challenge in preventing dangerous errors can help devs make practical engineering decisions that improve appsec for everyone.

In today’s ever-evolving business landscape, organizations face diverse risks, including cyber risks, that can significantly affect their operations and overall prosperity. Aligning risk management strategies with organizational objectives is crucial for effectively mitigating these potential threats and fostering sustainable growth. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we discuss the challenges of aligning security and risk to the business, a topic we discuss often on the show. But this time, we do the hard part, by defining Objectives and Key Results aligned to Business Goals. Visit  for all the latest episodes! Show Notes:

Say Easy, Do Hard - Defining Objectives and Key Results Aligned to Business Goals - BSW #393

The PSW crew discusses tips, tricks, and traps for using AI and LLMs. We discuss a wide range of AI-related topics, including how to utilize AI tools for writing, coding, data analysis, website design, and more! Some key takeaways include:  AI has rapidly shifted from novelty to an essential tool in security and other fields. Paid AI versions offer significant advantages for professionals. Legal, ethical, and copyright questions around AI-generated content remain unresolved. Human skills, critical thinking, communication, and adaptability are more important than ever. AI is a powerful assistant, but not a replacement for expertise, creativity, or judgment. Fact-checking AI outputs and understanding bias are critical in the age of generative AI.  This episode offers a comprehensive, practical, and philosophical look at how AI is reshaping security, education, and society, providing both optimism and caution for the future.

Security Weekly News Interviews Leaders of NECCDC competition - SWN #473

Now in its 18th year, the Verizon Business DBIR is one of the industry’s longest standing and leading reports on the current cybersecurity landscape. This year’s report analyzes more than 22,000 security incidents with victims spanning 139 countries, examining significant growth in third-party involvement in breaches, increases in ransomware and examines the average amounts paid and amount of time to patch vulnerabilities, among many other findings.

Over the past two decades, the browser has evolved from a simple web rendering engine to the primary gateway through which users interact with the internet, be it for work, leisure or transactions. In other words, browsers are becoming the new endpoint. Yet, despite the exponential growth of browser-native attacks, traditional security solutions continue to focus on endpoint and network, leaving a large gaping hole when it comes to browser security. SquareX has started the Year of Browser Bugs (YOBB), a yearlong initiative to draw attention to the lack of security research and rigor in what remains one of the most understudied attack vectors - the browser. Learn more about SquareX's Browser Detection and Response solution at  Last Mile Reassembly Attacks:  Polymorphic Extensions technical blog:  There is a growing overlap between endpoint and cloud environments, creating new security challenges. ThreatLocker has recently released innovative solutions designed to protect organizations operating in this space. These include Cloud Control, Cloud Detect, Patch Management, and other advanced security tools tailored to bridge the gap between endpoint and cloud protection.

Jason Mical, Field CTO, discusses Devo and Detecteam's integrated solution, which proactively improves security posture by identifying and closing detection gaps. The integration combines Devo's comprehensive threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities with Detecteam's autonomic detection lifecycle platform to continuously validate and improve detection capabilities based on real-world attack scenarios.

While the value of identity security remains largely untapped, SailPoint’s latest Horizons of Identity Security report reveals that organizations with mature identity programs can bend their identity security-to-value curve and recognize disproportionately higher returns. These programs unlock new value pools and can help address emerging challenges, such as securing machine and AI agent identities.

Identity has long been the soft underbelly of cybersecurity—but with AI, non-human identities (NHIs), and autonomous agents on the rise, it’s now front and center for security teams, the C-suite, and boardrooms alike. Adversaries aren’t just hacking systems anymore—they’re hijacking identities to slip through the cracks and move undetected in systems. For too long, identity security was treated as interchangeable with IAM—but that mindset is exactly what left critical gaps exposed. Listen to our interview with Hed Kovetz as he unpacks why identity has become today’s most urgent battleground in cyber. He'll what you can do about it with an identity security playbook that gives you the upper hand.   This segment is sponsored by Silverfort.

We catch up on news after a week of BSidesSF and RSAC Conference. Unsurprisingly, AI in all its flavors, from agentic to gen, was inescapable. But perhaps more surprising (and more unfortunate) is how much the adoption of LLMs has increased the attack surface within orgs. The news is heavy on security issues from MCPs and a novel alignment bypass against LLMs. Not everything is genAI as we cover some secure design topics from the Airborne attack against Apple's AirPlay to more calls for companies to show how they're embracing secure design principles and practices. Apiiro CEO &amp; Co-Founder, Idan Plotnik discusses the AI problem in AppSec. This segment is sponsored by Apiiro. Visit  to learn more about them! Gen AI is being adopted faster than company’s policy and data security can keep up, and as LLM’s become more integrated into company systems and uses leverage more AI enabled applications, they essentially become unintentional data exfiltration points. These tools do not differentiate between what data is sensitive and proprietary and what is not. This interview will examine how the rapid adoption of Gen AI is putting sensitive company data at risk, and the data security considerations and policies organizations should implement before, if, and when their employees may seek to adopt a Gen AI tools to leverage some of their undeniable workplace benefits.
