OWASP 2025 Global AppSec EU

You bought the application security tools, you have the findings, but now what? Many organisations find themselves drowning in "possible vulnerabilities", struggling to streamline their processes and not sure how to measure their progress.

If you are involved in using SAST, DAST or SCA tools in your organisation, these may be familiar feelings to you.

In this course, which is being refreshed and updated for 2025, you will learn how to address these problems and more (in a vendor-neutral way)

For 2025, we are putting a particular emphasis on practicality and activities which bring value with topics including the following:

• Customising the tools to focus on your needs
• Building tool processes which fit your business
• Automating workflows using CI/CD without slowing it down
• Showing the value and improvements you are making
• Finding ways to scale triage to cut down noise
• Focusing on fixing what matters in your situation
• Advantages and disadvantages of alternative forms of remediation
• Comparison of the different tool types covered and which you may want to use in different situations.
• The use of Vulnerability Aggregation and ASPMs

To bring the course to life and let you apply what you learn, you will work in teams on table-top exercises where you design processes to cover specific scenarios, explain and justify your decisions to simulated stakeholders and practice prioritising your remediation efforts.

For these exercises, you will work based on specially designed process templates (which we will provide) which you can use afterwards to apply these improvements within your own organisation.

Be ready to work in a group, take part in discussions and present your findings and leave the course with clear strategies and ideas on how to get less stress and more value from these tools.
