A lot of appsec conferences have presentations for appsec audiences -- but that's not often the group that's building apps. What if more developer conferences had appsec content? We talk with Josh about security from the developer's point of view, both as an audience hearing about it and as a presenter talking about it. We discuss the importance of knowing your audience and finding the hooks in security tools and topics that can resonate with developers.

Oh, the HARror! Sanitizing HAR files is not as easy as some might lead you to believe. CISA funds Cyber.org for K-12 cyber education and ORNL creates a Center for AI Security Research (CAISER).

There is little to no organization of data within companies in 2023. We're all guilty of this at some level. The download folders and desktops on our personal machines are a mess. File servers, and cloud storage services are a mess. In Microsoft's recent data leak, AI researchers even had PC backups stored along side machine learning models for whatever reason. Data is hard to classify, organize, and monitor. By designing for convenience, we've created convenience debt that now has to be paid down. In this segment we talk to Jackie McGuire about what needs to happen to accomplish this, at the enterprise level, and at scale. Even if we can one day address the challenge of tracking and labeling data, we'll still have the challenge of addressing data integrity and resilience, which we'll also discuss if we have time!

In this segment, we discuss the current state of the market recovery with Hank Thomas, founder of Strategic Cyber Ventures. We've got market questions, like: What has changed in the last year? Are IPOs coming back any time soon? How large is the cybersecurity death pool? What do early and mid-sized startups need to do to survive in the current market?

AI/ML is providing significant benefits in a wide range of application domains but also provides adversaries with a new attack surface. Learn about DARPA's efforts to help evaluate AI/ML and work towards a trust model that will allow us to use these valuable tools safely.
