Manual secure code reviews can be tedious and time intensive if you're just going through checklists. There's plenty of room for linters and compilers and all the grep-like tools to find flaws. Louis Nyffenegger describes the steps of a successful code review process. It's a process that starts with understanding code, which can even benefit from an LLM assistant, and then applies that understanding to a search for developer patterns that lead to common mistakes like mishandling data, not enforcing a control flow, or not defending against unexpected application states. He explains how finding those kinds of more impactful bugs are rewarding for the reviewer and valuable to the code owner. It involves reading a lot of code, but Louis offers tips on how to keep notes, keep an app's context in mind, and keep code secure. Segment Resources:       Visit  for all the latest episodes!

Interview Segment - Lessons Learned from the tj-actions GitHub Action Supply Chain Attack with Dimitri Stiliadis Breach analysis is one of my favorite topics to dive into and I’m thrilled Dimitri is joining us today to reveal some of the insights . It isn’t an overstatement to say that some of the lessons to be learned from this incident represent fundamental changes to how we architect development environments. Why are we talking about it now, 4 months after it occurred? In the case of the Equifax breach, the most useful details about the breach didn’t get released to the public until 18 months after the incident. It takes time for details to come out, but in my experience, the learning opportunities are worth the wait. Topic Segment - Should the US Go on the Cyber Offensive? Triggered by , the discussion of whether the US should launch more visible offensive cyber operations starts up again.
