A successful strategy in appsec is to build platforms with defaults and designs that ease the burden of security choices for developers. But there's an important difference between expecting (or requiring!) developers to use a platform and building a platform that developers embrace. Julia Knecht shares her experience in building platforms with an attention to developer needs, developer experience, and security requirements. She brings attention to the product management skills and feedback loops that make paved roads successful -- as well as the areas where developers may still need or choose their own alternatives. After all, the impact of a paved road isn't in its creation, it's in its adoption. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw 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 he’s pulled out of this GitHub Actions incident. 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 an op-ed from Dave Kennedy, the discussion of whether the US should launch more visible offensive cyber operations starts up again. There are a lot of factors and nuances to discuss here, and a lot of us have opinions here. We'll see if we can do any of it justice in 15 minutes.

How do we get security right? The answer varies by many factors, including industry, what you're trying to protect, and what the C Suite and Board care about. Khaja Ahmed, Advisor at CISO Forum, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how to get consensus on your security program. CISOs, executives, and the Board need to be aligned on the risks and how best to address them. And it's not technical risks, it's business risks measured by legal or financial impact. Khaja will help guide new and existing CISOs on how to: Work across the business to build consensus Identify and quantify risks in financial and legal terms Design security from the start Be effective as a security leader In the leadership and communications section, Is the C-Suite Right for You?, What Fortune 100s are getting wrong about cybersecurity hiring, Why Communication Is Exhausting in Chaotic Workplaces, and more!
