Businesses have come a long way in their individual journeys to digital transformation, all to enhance their customer and workforce experiences. This shift elevated the importance of both Application Security (AppSec) and Cloud Security (CloudSec) in safeguarding digital assets and ensuring infrastructure resilience.

Mobile Security Framework (MobSF), launched by OWASP in 2015, is a partially automated, open-source, all-in-one mobile application (Android/iOS/Windows) pen-testing framework capable of performing static, dynamic, and malware analysis. MobSF is one of the most widely used security applications where the testing framework - a simple, flexible, and incredibly powerful tool has quickly become the lingua franca of security. The flexibility and accessibility of the tool are helpful but also dangerous.

A few years ago, REI embarked on its digital transformation and cloud migration journey, moving on-prem development environments to AWS. But, as REI’s development teams began this transition, their security counterparts noticed that application security just wasn’t keeping up. As a result, REI began another journey: identifying the right security tooling and cultural shifts for AppSec success.

Most security tools waste developers’ time. We’re on a mission to fix this. Application Developers aren't paid to care about security. Their performance is measured by the speed at which they can add value to the business through new features or enhancements. This makes traditional security tools a hindrance as they're not built for developers — plus, they're not designed to be helpful.

For security leaders, building a strong working relationship with your CISO often comes down to your ability to provide clear reports and concise risk summaries. Your reports allow CISOs to perform a vital responsibility of their role: translating highly technical security jargon into actionable recommendations that will reduce risk and improve security maturity across the organization. And in the case of a breach or zero-day event, CISOs may be the bearer of bad news.

As organizations shift their applications and operations to the cloud and increasingly drive revenues through software, cloud-native applications and APIs have emerged among the greatest areas of modern security risk.
