Minimizing latency, increasing performance, and reducing compile times are just a part of what makes a development environment better. Throw in useful tests and some useful security tools and you have an even better environment. Dan Moore talks about what motivates some developers to prefer a "local first" approach as we walk through what all of this means for security.

'Shift Left' feels like a cliché at this point, but it's often difficult to track tech and security movements if you aren't interacting with practitioners on a regular basis. Some areas of tech have a longer tail when it comes to late adopters and laggards, and application security appears to be one of these areas. In this interview, Jenn Gile catches us up on AppSec trends.

In this interview, we're excited to have Ilona Cohen to help us understand what changes this new US administration might bring, in terms of cybersecurity regulation. Ilona's insights come partially from her own experiences working from within the White House. Before she was the Chief Legal Officer of HackerOne, she was a senior lawyer to President Obama and served as General Counsel of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

In this hyper-partisan environment, it's easy to get hung up on particular events. Do many of us lack cross-administration historical perspective? Probably. Should we be outraged by the disillusion of the CSRB, or was this a fairly ordinary occurrence when a new administration comes in? These are the kinds of questions I'll be posing to Ilona in this conversation.

Application, user, and data security are the three core components of every security program, but data is really what attackers want. In order to protect that data, we need to know where it is and what it's used for. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we tackle data inventory and classification.

In part 2, we discuss the steps involved in data inventory and classification, including:

• Data discovery: Identify all data sources across the organization using data mapping tools.
• Data profiling: Analyze data attributes to understand its content and characteristics.
• Data classification: Assign appropriate sensitivity levels to each data set based on predefined criteria.
• Data tagging: Label data assets with their classification level for easy identification.
• Data ownership assignment: Determine who is responsible for managing each data set.

In part 1, we discuss the challenges of data inventory and classification, including:

• identifying all data sources within an organization, including databases, applications, cloud storage, physical files, etc., and documenting details like data type, location, and volume
• categorizing all data based on its sensitivity level, usually using classifications like "public," "internal," "confidential," or "restricted," which determines the necessary security measures to protect it
• prioritizing security measures and protecting critical information more effectively

We're getting close to two full decades of celebrating web hacking techniques. James Kettle shares which was his favorite, why the list is important to the web hacking community, and what inspires the kind of research that makes it onto the list. We discuss why we keep seeing eternal flaws like XSS and SQL injection making these lists year after year and how clever research is still finding new attack surfaces in old technologies. But there's a lot of new web technology still to be examined, from HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 to WebAssembly.
