Introducing The AppSec Team
Created by AppSec professionals for you
The AppSec Team is a brand new community founded by experienced AppSec professionals to learn, share and discuss everything Application Security. We bring like-minded people together to share ideas, discuss challenges and help others.
We understand the challenges of application security and have first-hand knowledge of building, maintaining and scaling security teams and programs from scratch.
We are an independent community; not affiliated with or sponsored by any security vendors.
Bombarding you with marketing emails and biased product reviews is not on the agenda. Providing insights and experiences from real-world application security teams is our sole purpose.
Sharing to enable others
There's tons of quality information about application security on the internet. This information can be overwhelming and confusing, especially for those new to the sector or working alone.
Imagine you’re making a cocktail and you’ve got the ingredient list in front of you, you’d be able to attempt some shaking and pouring. But, without a recipe or guidance from somebody who’s trialled, errored and perfected, you wouldn’t know the order, the timings and the techniques needed. - credit getnowhow.com
As a community, we want to provide a rich source of knowledge and experience to help you turbocharge your application security career and programs.
Things we plan to discuss
Our heads are full of things that we want to share and discuss with you:
