Key takeaways:
- A quick look at the OWASP Top 10 (2025) and practical solutions for the newest risks.
- How to implement supply chain security strategies to defend against threats like Shai-Hulud or Log4Shell.
- Ways to integrate essential security checks (SAST/SCA) into your CI/CD pipeline for continuous protection.
- Practical threat modeling techniques to identify and prioritize risks early in the design phase and later in incident response.
- How to set up security monitoring and logging to detect and respond to attacks in production.
- Practical strategies to use AI assistants securely in your development workflow.
- And finally, why using hardened container images is a simple yet highly effective strategy for runtime security.
