Smarter, Faster, Safer: Cybersecurity Training That Works – Debbie Gordon – SCA25 #1

Editorial-style stock photo of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) using negative space photography techniques. The setting is a modern office environment, with the CISO positioned off-center to create negative space. The composition is carefully framed to highlight the CISO's authoritative presence and the surrounding empty space, symbolizing the need for security and protection in digital landscapes. The background features elements of the office, such as computers, monitors, and security-related visuals, adding context to the CISO's role. The lighting is subtle yet impactful, drawing attention to the CISO while emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity. The mood is professional and vigilant, conveying the CISO's dedication to safeguarding sensitive information and digital assets. --ar 7:4 --v 6 Job ID: f89a8dfb-ebea-4c46-ad40-7b415579d10a

<body>We take advantage of April Fools to look at some of appsec's myths, mistakes, and behaviors that lead to bad practices. It's easy to get trapped in a status quo of chasing CVEs or discussing which direction to shift security. But scrutinizing decimal points in CVSS scores or rearranging tools misses the opportunity for more strategic thinking. We satirize some worst practices in order to have a more serious discussion about a future where more software is based on secure designs.</body>
