Erik Cabetas -- Cracking Codes on Screen and in Contests: An Expert's View on Hacking, Vulnerabilities, and the Evolution of Cybersecurity Language

The Application Security Podcast

Erik Cabetas joins Robert and Chris for a thought-provoking discussion about modern software security. They talk about the current state of vulnerabilities, the role of memory-safe languages in AppSec, and why IncludeSec takes a highly systematic approach to security assessments and bans OWASP language. Along the way, Erik shares his entry into cybersecurity and his experience consulting about hacking for TV shows and movies. The conversation doesn't end before they peek into threat modeling, software engineering architecture, and the nuances of running security programs.
