What are your favorite resources for secure code? Co-hosts John Kinsella and Kalyani Pawar talk about the reality of bringing security into a business. We talk about the role of the OWASP Top 10 and the OWASP ASVS in crafting security programs. And balance that with a discussion in what's the best use of everyone's time -- developers and appsec folks alike -- in crafting code that's secure by design rather than just secure from scanner results.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw for all the latest episodes!

Interview with Ravid Circus Ravid will discuss why security and engineering misalignment is the biggest barrier to fast, effective remediation, using data from Seemplicity’s 2025 Remediation Operations Report. This is costing some teams days of unnecessary exposure, which can lead to major security implications for organizations. Segment Resources: https://seemplicity.io/papers/the-2025-remediation-operations-report/ https://seemplicity.io/news/seemplicity-releases-2025-remediation-operations-report-91-of-organizations-experience-delays-in-vulnerability-remediation/ https://seemplicity.io/blog/2025-remediation-operations-report-organizations-still-struggle/   Topic Segment: Thoughts on Anthropic's latest security report Ex-SC Media journalist Derek Johnson did a great job writing this one up over at Cyberscoop: China’s ‘autonomous’ AI-powered hacking campaign still required a ton of human work There are a number of interesting questions that have been raised here. Some want more technical details and question the report's conclusions. How automated was it, really? I found it odd that Anthropic's CEO was on 60 minutes the same week, talking about how dangerous AI is (which is his company's primary and only product). I think one of the more interesting things to discuss is how Anthropic has based its identity and brand on AI safety. While so many other SaaS companies appear to be doing the bare minimum to stop attacks against their customers, Anthropic is putting significant resources into testing for future threats and discovering active attacks.   News Segment Finally, in the enterprise security news, vendor layoffs have started again the sins of security vendor research the pillars of the Internet are burning selling out to North Korea isn’t worth what they’re paying you ransom payments, in 24 easy installments? a breach handled the right way we probably shouldn’t be putting LLMs into kids toys ordering coffee from the terminal All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!
