Listen to Application Security Weekly

The Application Security Weekly podcast delivers interviews and news from the worlds of AppSec, DevOps, DevSecOps, and all the other ways people find and fix software flaws. (But not BugOps. That’s a terrible approach.)

Intros & Other Bits

ASW 252

The show is more than just appsec headlines. I try to make every intro unique, with a touch of appsec in everything from New Wave music to Max Headroom to movies to a bit of noir. I document these entertaining excursions in the extra show notes.

I also have two playlists on TIDAL with synthwave tracks and New Wave / Post-Punk inspirations I’ve mentioned on the show. I’ll share a playlist from Bandcamp once they release support for it.

Interviews & News

In the news segment, we go beyond each article’s headline and summary to discuss how a flaw in one app demonstrates a common mistake that could haunt any app, or how the latest breach can inform the threat models you use for your own environment.

We’re always interested in connecting with our audience. Want to hear a particular guest on the show? Have a topic you’d like us to cover?

Appsec in Three Words

Appsec in Three Words

In 2023 we asked our guests to describe appsec in three words. No other constraints and no other rules – just appsec as the topic and three words as the description.

It’s been fun to hear the variety and creativity of the responses. There’s been almost no overlap and they’ve all been entertaining.

Check out how it turned out with this wordcloud.
