Matin Mavaddat -- Understanding Security as a Systemic Concern The Role of Anti Requirements
Matin Mavaddat discusses his perspective on security as a systemic concern, developed from his background in requirements engineering and systems architecture. He introduces the concept of "anti-requirements" - defining what a system should not do - and distinguishes between "syntactic security" (addressing technical vulnerabilities that are always incorrect) and "semantic security" (context-dependent security emerging from system interactions). Mavaddat shares his perspective that security itself doesn't have independent existence but rather emerges from preventing undesirable states. The discussion concludes with practical implementation strategies, suggesting that while automated tools can handle syntactic security issues, organizations should focus more energy on semantic security by understanding business context and defining anti-requirements early in the development process.

    Important topic! Steve has clearly done great work on CycloneDX and Dependency-Track - much appreciated by the community. However, in this interview, I don't believe that he adequately motivated a key use case for SBOM. Here is my attempt: Imagine that you are a CISO and a major vulnerability is released and becomes a global news story. The CIO approaches the CISO with the concern "are we affected by this vulnerability?". At present, many CISOs will have to redirect precious resources to commence a slow, largely manual, process of examining hundreds, or even thousands, of their IT solutions to provide the answers. The goal is for the CISO to always have a complete and current library of SBOMs for all enterprise IT assets, and commitments from their solution providers to rapidly provide VEX reports in response to vulns. If so, there are SBOM solutions (some appear on the site "SBOM.Solutions") that the CISO can use to answer the CIO's question very quickly, and with minimal effort. And if there is exposure, the CISO will know exactly which solution require remediation to minimize the time window for exploitation. Right Steve?

    Great conversation 🙂 There is a Bachelors degree in Cybersecurity that Western Governors University (WGU) offers. I have it myself. It's a Bachelors of Science Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (BSCIA). They also offer a masters degree. This degree comes with multiple certifications as part of the course work including ISC2 SSCP, CCSP. It does not help with getting a job. I got into product security by having technical skills. Progression: Grocery store stocker, printer repair/salesman (after hours web master and custom ecomm creator for the company), higher ed desktop support, connected vehicle qa engineer -> devsecops engineer, real estate product security analyst->engineer->senior.

    I'm a purist when it comes to cybersecurity. Went from college to vuln management to appsec, and I feel the same. Product security needs to be the focus from architect to dev to devops to qa even. Appsec can probably be consultative, but I would even say that's more of a service to product security. There's far too few of us, but there are tons of product resources (ie qa, dev, architects, etc) who with just the right education in their respective area, can achieve more. Then it would just be pentesting and consulting from the purist who is cybersecurity

    Would love to hear your views on replacing WAF for cloud native apps and plugging the capability gap with CSP native WAF. Is RASP the future or does following good testing and configuration that you describe remove the need? Also the value of tools like Aquasec.

    • @ApplicationSecurityPodcast
      @ApplicationSecurityPodcast ปีที่แล้ว

      (This is Chris). I'm not a fan of WAF at all these days. The time and $$$ commitment is too much for the reward. RASP is the present and the future. You should also perform good testing and configuration; this is a classic defense in-depth approach. Tools like Aquasec provide another layer of defense, managing container security configs and open source / third-party vulns.

    • @staywiredin
      @staywiredin ปีที่แล้ว

      (This is Steve). Having formerly worked for Aqua I also like their tools and their open source in particular. I'm with Chris in terms of WAF however I do like it in terms of virtual patching (eg Log4j). IMHO RASP or anything that requires an in-depth attachment to runtime engines can be difficult to operationalise. From a cloud AppSec perspective, given the potential ephemeral nature of containerised application components and the complexity of a microservice / serverless architecture, it can be a chore. I do entirely agree with the goal of RASP and see that level of observability and actionability with reachability as a critical objective to bring context, a definite future goal. I'm not 100% convinced that current RASP is the answer but perhaps a next-gen "RASP" leveraging tech like eBPF (and obviously AI) is an emerging and potentially more performant option. Sorry for the late response.
