Episode Notes
In this episode of On Location with Sean and Marco, host Sean Martin embarks on a solo adventure to discuss the upcoming OWASP AppSec Global conference in Lisbon. He is joined by three distinguished guests: Isabel Praça, a professor and AI researcher; Dinis Cruz, an AppSec professional and startup founder; and Rob van der Veer, a software improvement consultant and AI standards pioneer.
The episode kicks off with introductions and a light-hearted comment about Sean’s co-host, Marco Ciappelli, who is more of a psychology enthusiast while Sean delves into the technical aspects. Sean expresses his enthusiasm for the OWASP organization and its impactful projects, programs, and people.
Each guest contributes unique insights into their work and their upcoming presentations at the conference. Isabel Praça, from the Polytechnic of Porto, shares her journey in AI and cybersecurity, emphasizing her collaboration with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) on AI security and cybersecurity skills frameworks. She underscores the importance of interdisciplinary expertise in AI and cybersecurity and discusses her concept of "trust cards" for AI, which aim to provide a comprehensive evaluation of AI models beyond traditional metrics.
Dinis Cruz, a longstanding member of OWASP with extensive experience in AppSec, brings attention to the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in scaling application security. He discusses the importance of a deterministic approach to AI outputs and provenance, advocating for a blend of traditional AppSec practices with new AI-driven capabilities to better understand and secure applications.
Rob van der Veer, founder of the OpenCRE team and a veteran in AI, elaborates on the integration of multiple security standards and the essential need for collaboration between software engineers and data scientists. He shares his perspective on AI’s role in security, highlighting the pitfalls and biases associated with AI models and the necessity of applying established security principles to AI development.
Throughout the episode, the conversation touches on the complexities of trust, the evolving landscape of AI and cybersecurity, and the imperative for ongoing collaboration and education among professionals in both fields. Sean wraps up the episode with a call to action for data scientists and AppSec professionals to join the conference, either in person or through recordings, to foster a deeper understanding and collective advancement in AI-enabled application security.
Listeners are encouraged to attend the OWASP AppSec Global conference in Lisbon, where they can expect not only insightful sessions but also vibrant discussions and networking opportunities in a picturesque setting.
