OWASP Top 10 API 2023: A tactical guide for smart developers
In this age of DevSecOps, continuous delivery, and more data pay dirt than ever before, shrewd organizations are helping developers just like you upskill into security-aware superstars that assist in eliminating common vulnerabilities before they ever make it to production. When you’re producing high-quality code without those annoying, show-stopping bugs, not only is it safer for the end-user, but it also results in less rework and disruption for you. The following chapters will focus on some of the worst security bugs as they relate to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). These are so prevalent that they made the new 2023 Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) list of top API vulnerabilities. Given how important APIs are to modern computing infrastructures, these are critical problems that you need to keep out of your applications and programs at all costs.
Explore this all-new eBook to learn more about:
- How each of the top 10 API vulnerabilities work, and how an attacker can exploit them
- What they look like, and how you can fix them with good coding patterns (with links to real, hands-on challenges!)
- How to navigate security at the pace of innovation in your day-to-day work.

Benchmarking Security Skills: Streamlining Secure-by-Design in the Enterprise
Finding meaningful data on the success of Secure-by-Design initiatives is notoriously difficult. CISOs are often challenged when attempting to prove the return on investment (ROI) and business value of security program activities at both the people and company levels. Not to mention, it’s particularly difficult for enterprises to gain insights into how their organizations are benchmarked against current industry standards. The President’s National Cybersecurity Strategy challenged stakeholders to “embrace security and resilience by design.” The key to making Secure-by-Design initiatives work is not only giving developers the skills to ensure secure code, but also assuring the regulators that those skills are in place. In this presentation, we share a myriad of qualitative and quantitative data, derived from multiple primary sources, including internal data points collected from over 250,000 developers, data-driven customer insights, and public studies. Leveraging this aggregation of data points, we aim to communicate a vision of the current state of Secure-by-Design initiatives across multiple verticals. The report details why this space is currently underutilized, the significant impact a successful upskilling program can have on cybersecurity risk mitigation, and the potential to eliminate categories of vulnerabilities from a codebase.

Is Vibe Coding Going to Turn Your Codebase Into a Frat Party?
Vibe coding is like a college frat party, and AI is the centerpiece of all the festivities, the keg. It’s a lot of fun to let loose, get creative, and see where your imagination can take you, but after a few keg stands, drinking (or, using AI) in moderation is undoubtedly the safer long-term solution.
