SAST is like reviewing the blueprint. It inspects code and configurations to spot vulnerabilities before deployment. DAST is like testing the building. It interacts with the running app to uncover issues visible from the outside, including exploitable injection paths and misconfigurations. You need both to prevent and verify. 🐐 Goat Insight: SAST prevents more defects, DAST confirms real-world exposure. Want to learn more about SAST and DAST?

“AppSec in the Real World: Offensive Thinking, Boring Discipline, and Programs That Actually Work” Building an effective application security program requires more than tools and checklists. From developer security champions and threat modeling to API security and offensive security insights, organizations must balance innovation with the fundamentals that drive long-term security success. Moderator: Sanjeev Jaiswal Panelists: • Mohan Sekar • Lekshmi Nair • Neelu Tripathy Join this engaging discussion at VULNCON 2026 as seasoned security leaders share practical lessons on building AppSec programs that scale, deliver measurable impact, and stand the test of time. 📍 NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru 📅 12th & 13th June, 2026 Final Chance: Last Minute Sale ends 9 June. vulncon.in/register #VULNCON2026 #Vulncon #AppSec #DevSecOps #SecureDevelopment #ThreatModeling #OffensiveSecurity #SecurityEngineering #CyberSecurity #InfoSec

AI Development Plugins Are Changing the AppSec Trust Boundary AI assisted development is quickly becoming part of the modern engineering workflow. That progress is valuable, but it also changes where security teams need to look for risk. VerSprite’s latest research into AI development plugin security risks highlights a critical reality: when coding agents are granted access to project files, local tools, network resources, and developer context, their behavior must be treated as part of the application security surface. This is not just a prompt injection discussion. It is a trust boundary discussion. The research identified how vulnerable tool behavior in an AI powered VSCode extension could enable: • NTLM hash exposure through prompt injected instructions that cause the agent to interact with a remote SMB share • Unintended project file disclosure through a plaintext HTTP POST tied to what appeared to be a leftover debugging endpoint • Abuse of local development context when an injected prompt is embedded inside a repository file and later interpreted by the AI agent • Security control bypass conditions where user approval prompts existed, but sensitive actions had already occurred in the background The lesson for security leaders is clear: AI development plugins should not be evaluated only by productivity gains. They should be evaluated by the permissions they inherit, the tools they invoke, the data they process, and the paths they can reach. At VerSprite, this is where our culture of adversarial thinking matters. We do not stop at identifying that a prompt injection exists. We ask what an attacker could realistically accomplish with it, how it could be chained, where the human approval model fails, and what impact it creates inside a real enterprise environment. For teams adopting AI coding assistants, several practices deserve immediate attention: • Review extension behavior before broad deployment • Restrict unnecessary file, network, and system level access • Monitor unexpected outbound traffic from developer workstations • Treat repositories as potential instruction sources, not just code sources • Require explicit user approval before sensitive data leaves the local environment • Include AI enabled developer tools in threat modeling, red team testing, and third party risk reviews AI is expanding the speed and capability of software delivery. Security has to evolve at the same pace. The organizations that benefit most from AI assisted development will be the ones that approach it with disciplined trust boundaries, realistic abuse cases, and security validation that reflects how attackers actually operate.

New Article | The CyberDiplomat Two Frameworks, One Problem The Pall Mall Code of Practice governs states and surveillance vendors. OWASP MASVS & MASTG govern developers and applications. They were never designed to work together. Yet both are trying to solve the same problem: how to govern cyber intrusion capabilities responsibly. This article explores why the future of cyber governance may depend on bridging the gap between policy and code, diplomacy and engineering, and principles and implementation. A must-read for policymakers, developers, regulators, security professionals, and anyone interested in the future of cyber governance. 🔗 Read the full article: thecyberdiplomat.ghost.io/tw… "Principles without implementation are promises.

AI is no longer just helping engineers write code. In 2026, it autonomously discovers zero‑day vulnerabilities 🚨 in kernels faster than engineering teams can patch them. According to research from the UK AI Security Institute and public reports released alongside Claude Mythos, modern AI agents have demonstrated the ability to: 🔸 independently analyze Linux and FreeBSD kernel code 🔸 identify critical vulnerabilities without human assistance 🔸 validate new CVEs using structured, repeatable methodologies However, the same AI that can improve driver stability and security can also become a source of new risks if used without proper control. This is exactly what we will discuss in the webinar “AI in Driver Development: Use Cases, Risks, and Engineering Lessons.” Using real low‑level and driver development ⚙️ projects from Apriorit, we’ll show: 🔹 where AI truly adds value in kernel‑level environments 🔹 why expert review is still non‑negotiable 🔹 which mistakes AI makes most often and how not to miss them 📅 May 28, 2026 🕕 6:00 PM CET | 9:00 AM PDT If you work with drivers, kernels, or system-level software, this webinar will help you distinguish controlled innovation from unmanaged risk.
