Learn how software-driven organizations use GitGuardian to strengthen their overall security posture and comply with application security frameworks and standards. 

GitGuardian, founded in 2017, has become the leader in automated secrets detection and is now focused on providing a comprehensive code security platform. It's raised $56M from top investors, including co-founders of GitHub and Docker. Its policy engine helps security teams monitor and enforce rules across all their VCS, DevOps tools, and infrastructure-as-code configurations. GitGuardian offers Secrets Detection, Infra as Code Security, and Honeytoken capabilities all in one platform.

In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, we broach a wide variety of topics, ranging from The Theory of Constraints, source control horror stories, and using scorecards to drive cross-team success. 

We are joined by Justin Reock, the Head of Developer Relations for Cortex.io. 
He is an outspoken speaker, writer, and software practice evangelist. He has over 20 years of experience working in various software roles and has delivered enterprise solutions, technical leadership, and community education on a range of topics. 

We start by talking about how the work of Ed Deming translates into modern software workflow and what that means for security. Branching from there, we dip into how developer and build tooling can and should include security. The one thing all developers have in common is source control, and Justin's background lets him share a few stories that are not to be missed.  
We end with a new twist on Best Advice/Worst Advice that gives us deeper insight into our guest. 

Thanks for tuning into this episode.

From The Theory Of Constraints to Scorecard Patterns for Better Compliance - Justin Reock

In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, we take a look at how to do secret rotation reliably in a highly available system.  

We are joined by Kenton McDonough. Kent got his MS in Computer Science from Virginia Tech in 2021 with a focus on systems and networking. He currently does security automation for Viasat Inc, a global Satellite internet service provider, with an emphasis on credential management and RBAC systems.

We walk through the tech stack that Kent works with, which includes a little of everything. We revisit his talk topic at BSides as Vegas 2024 with a discussion of 'blue/green' secrets rotation. By the end, we uncover some best practices to keep in mind when architecting a scalable, highly available application with regard to secrets management.

Rotating Secrets At Scale, Automatically, and With High Availability - Kenton McDonough

We all want to have the best security posture possible, especially when it comes to our mission-critical applications. This is also true for any software we publish that is used in the software supply chain. Every security team dreams of fully implementing Zero Trust as the standard across the whole of the organization and having flawless defenses.

In reality, though, security is a never-ending journey, as the landscape constantly shifts at an ever-accelerating rate. Defending the perimeter used to be the goal, but in the ultra-interconnected world of services, cloud platforms, and open-source dependencies, we need to rethink how we defend ourselves and our customers.

We need to stop unrealistically striving for perfection and get back to basics to make sure we are guarding against the most likely, most common, and most costly threats that continue to emerge.

In this webinar, we will cover:

Understanding the threats throughout the Software Supply Chain
The benefits and realities of implementing Zero Trust
Thinking through trust, attestation, and scanning
Finding the right balance of time and effort for security ROI
Thinking past compliance and defending against the most likely scenarios
Join Chris Lindsey, Application Security Evangelist at Mend.io, and Dwayne McDaniel, Sr. Developer Advocate at GitGuardian, for an hour of conversation and learning.

Good Enough: Practical Zero Trust Posture in The Software Supply Chain

In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, we look at security automation and how we can engineer our way to better security overall.

We are joined, once again by Huxley Barbee, who has been a fixture of the security community for over 20 years. Professionally, he was a security consultant working with customers in finance, insurance, manufacturing, and higher education. Currently, he leads the security engineering group at a fintech company. Beyond the day job, he is also active in the security and hacker community. He started attending DEF CON in the late 90s, has spoken at many conferences throughout the US, and is the lead organizer for BSidesNYC. He lives in New York. You should connect with him on social media, buy him a drink, or both.

We start with a great discussion of what to automate and what not to automate when thinking about security.  From there, we explore the role of AI in the security tool belt and how we can best leverage it to improve our posture. By the end, we get some updates about BSides NYC and elsewhere.

Security Automation And Leveraging AI To Deal With Security At Scale - Huxley Barbee

In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, we take a look at the role developer training and awareness have in improving security.

We are joined by Chris Lindsey, Application Security Evangelist at Mend.io. He is a seasoned speaker who has appeared at conferences, webinars, and private events.  Chris draws on expertise from more than 15 years of direct security experience leading and building security programs and over 35 years of experience leading teams in programming software, solutions, and security architecture.

We start with how training and awareness are the start of the process but not all that is needed. From there, we discuss developer tooling vs security tooling and what gaps exist.  By the end, we get into AI and how to think about a future with auto-remediation.

Developer Awareness Training and AI Assisted Tooling for Improving Security - Chris Lindsey

The current state of application security often leaves us reacting to data breaches and unauthorized disclosures well after they have occurred. How do we change this reactive reality? 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss this and other questions:

- What are the CISO/security and privacy team absolutes or non-negotiables?
- How has modern AppSec failed these constituents?
- What are design decisions, and how do they impact the strength of an architecture?
- How do data flow diagrams enrich and simplify the process?
- What are security and privacy patterns, and how are they used?
- What are the most important things to measure with security/privacy by design?

By adopting these principles, development teams can shift from a reactive to a proactive stance, ensuring their software products are robust, trustworthy, and aligned with the highest security standards.
