Author: The OWASP Podcast Series February 2, 2022 Duration: 18:21
8 years ago I took over the OWASP Podcast from Jim Manico, originator of the project. In that time over 160 episodes have been published, with over 500,000 downloads. It has been a fun project, but it’s time to change things up a bit. There is a lot going on at OWASP, even more going on with the technology industry when it comes to cybersecurity. It’s too much for one person to keep up with. Enter the idea of multiple co-hosts for the podcast. Many of you listening already know of Vandana Verma and Matt Tesauro from their work with OWASP. I called to ask if they’d like to share the platform, producing their own episodes around a chosen concept. In today’s episode, Vandana, Matt and I talk about thoughts of an expanded concept for the podcast. We’ll each explain what we will be covering in our shows, and what you can expect to hear in the coming year. Our plan is to have three shows, (kind of like NPR programming when I think of it), under one umbrella: The OWASP Podcast Series. Come along with us and we talk through the new series and what it will me to you, as a listener.

Tune in to The OWASP Podcast Series for genuine conversations that go beyond the headlines of cybersecurity. Instead of dry lectures, you'll hear from the people actually building, testing, and defending the software that shapes our world. Each episode sits down with a different practitioner or innovator, pulling insights directly from their daily work and long-term vision. The discussions are grounded in the real challenges of application security, offering practical knowledge and forward-thinking strategies. This podcast provides a unique audio space to understand the evolving threats and defensive techniques critical for our digital infrastructure. You’ll find the dialogue is both technical and accessible, demystifying complex topics through the experiences of those on the front lines. The goal is to share actionable wisdom from the OWASP community and its extended network, focusing on how to create more resilient systems. By listening, you gain a deeper appreciation for the ongoing effort required to secure technology for everyone. It’s an essential resource for developers, security professionals, and anyone curious about the foundational work of safeguarding our connected future. The series turns abstract concepts into tangible lessons, all through the voices of the individuals dedicated to this crucial mission.
