Episodes
Don't Bury the Model T: Why STRIDE Still Drives in an AI World
In this episode, we dig into two things the security community loves to argue about: npm finally doing the right thing and whether STRIDE has any business being called dead. The npm v12 changes gate dangerous install script behavior by default, which is a good step forward and also about a decade overdue. Then we wade into a hot take claiming that STRIDE was built for a world that no longer exists
Mostly Dead or Mostly Back: The Zombie Resurrection of DAST in an AI World
In this episode, we dig into whether DAST is dead, mostly dead, or quietly making a comeback dressed in an AI trench coat.
