The Security Table

In this episode, we dig into whether DAST is dead, mostly dead, or quietly making a comeback dressed in an AI trench coat. The conversation traces the origins of dynamic application security testing from nmap scans and open source hacker tools to a market now valued at nearly four billion dollars and growing. We debate where DAST ends, and AI pen testing begins, whether AI can find a vulnerability nobody has ever seen before, and what happens when you compound the false positives of rigid rul...

What do roller coasters and threat modeling have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode, we explore how security professionals view risk differently than everyone else—and why that matters. From roller coaster anxiety to the ethics of identifying danger, we dive into the unique mindset that comes with being a threat modeler. Because once you learn to see threats everywhere, there's no going back. FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA: ➜Twitter: @SecTablePodcast ➜LinkedIn: The Security Table Podc...

We’re debating an online article claiming that the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) is a relic and needs to be updated for 21st-century threats. The discussion includes whether new properties like authenticity, accountability, and resilience should be incorporated into modern security models. And we delve into the use of analogies, system properties versus values, and the role of ethical considerations in cybersecurity. Listen along to our discussion on whether the foundat...

We’re diving into the relevance and execution of threat modeling within agile development environments. We dissect the claims, explore the true integration of agile practices with threat modeling, and address the misconceptions and challenges commonly faced. Check out the episode to find out if threat modeling is indeed slowing down agile processes or if it can be seamlessly integrated for better security outcomes. The Problem With Threat Modeling in Application Security: Too Slow, Too Theore...

Dr. Kim Wuyts and Avi Douglen join us in today's episode. Both guests are fresh from their training sessions at Black Hat and DEF CON in Las Vegas and share a quick overview of their experiences. We discuss a newly developed privacy awareness card game called 'Context and Cringe,' which aims to educate participants about privacy issues in a fun and interactive way. We also cover an upcoming training session at Global AppSec DC in November, where attendees will learn practical privacy strategi...

We’re talking about the rise of "vibe startups" - entrepreneurs hunting for problems to solve rather than building solutions from personal experience. We chat about AI security challenges, questioning whether these are truly new problems or just old security concepts repackaged for the AI era. From prompt injection and guardrails to the scary reality of AI agents acting as humans, we examine whether the industry's obsession with AI is leaving traditional security gaps exposed. FOLLOW OUR SOCI...

Today we’re joined by Petra Vukmirovic. Petra, is the head of information security at Numan and co-leader of the Threat Model Library Project. Petra shares her vision for creating a massive, structured dataset of crowdsourced threat models that could revolutionize how the cybersecurity community learns and shares threat modeling knowledge. We explore the complex challenges of convincing companies to share their threat models publicly, diving into concerns about legal liability, competitive ad...
