The “buzz” in building more secure applications is “shift security left,” which means integrating security into and throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

The Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) is an excellent tool from OWASP that provides a framework for assessing and improving your development processes, resulting in more secure applications. In this episode, your host, John Verry, CISO and Managing Partner at Pivot Point Security, sits down with Sebastien Deleersnyder, co-lead of the OWASP SAMM project, to discuss in depth how you can use SAMM to improve your application security program.

Join us as we discuss the following:

● The biggest challenge teams face in developing secure applications
● Using OWASP SAMM to assess your current security process
● Where most orgs really are today in terms of AppSec
● Identifying quick wins to improve web app security
● Leveraging SAMM alongside other security frameworks like NIST 800-218 and ISO 27001
