The Elephant in AppSec

Why AppSec Is breaking: Vibe Coding, DevSecOps backlogs & the new OWASP Top 10 (with Tanya Janca)

Today, I’m joined once again by Tanya Janca for her second appearance on the podcast. Her first episode was a hit, so we figured: why not record another? And the timing couldn’t be better, as Tanya has just embarked on a brand-new chapter in her career this year. In our first conversation, I highlighted many of Tanya’s accomplishments, and she’s only added to the list since then. Most notably, she’s been deeply involved in shaping key components of the newly released OWASP Top 10.In this episode, we dive into the initiatives she’s focusing on in her new solo journey, why she decided to join the OWASP Top 10 team, her mission to create a developer-focused awareness document, and even the unexpected difficulty of naming vulnerabilities for the final list.We also chat about her take on why DevSecOps has started to lose some of its shine. Something she’ll be discussing further at the upcoming Elephant in AppSec conference.Dive right in!
