500 posts, more insights

Most of the insights are pretty obvious (at least for me) but it's nice to notice that the LLM could detect some of them.

What it seems to be going up

  • AI and LLMs
  • Alert fatigue and vulnerability management (because NVD)
  • Automation
  • Metrics
  • Cloud and container security
What it seems to be going down (or maybe I am not paying much attention)
  • Mobile
  • Acquisitions (maybe they are more frequent in the 2nd half of the year)
My main sources (not including newsletters, slack groups)
  • Hacker news
  • Dark Reading
  • Companies blogs
  • GovInfoSecurity
  • Linkedin
A source type I'd like to use more are podcasts. I just don't do it because I haven't found a way to quickly summarize them. I love podcasts, I would really like to spend more time listening to them, but I simply don't have time. They are too many and each one has 1 or 2 hours. 

Another source I hope I can add here are books and scientific papers. I read a lot of reports from linkedin, not all of them have a serious methodology, most of them are biased, of course. But they are still interesting.

Youtube videos are easy to summarize because of the transcript, but I prefer those presentations recorded from conferences. Not all of them are available, unfortunately.

I would also like to have more time to follow twitter (X) and mastodon. I will try.

Things that I THINK they will deserve more attention from the media 
  • Code fix automation
  • Quantum safe cryptography
  • IoT

Because, maybe, our market is growing, but because more and more tools are being created, but companies are trying to do more with less people and more tools, which may be an effect of the current LLM hype.

I know LLM is here to stay, HOWEVER, I am very skeptical about how far it can go. I don't know where LLM currently is in the Gartner hype cycle curve, but I think soon people will realize that LLMs are good for translating and summarizing, but not that good for reasoning and automation. And it's costly, not very robust and not very deterministic.

But this is just my opinion. The whole market is against my opinion. In many times of my life, my predictions were completely wrong.

OWASP SAMM Skills Framework Enhances Software Security Roles

The OWASP SAMM Skills Framework, introduced on February 9, 2025, is a new initiative donated by Siemens to enhance software security practices within organizations. This framework assigns specific responsibilities to SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) streams, clarifying which roles are involved in advancing each stream. It provides guidance on the necessary skills and training for each role, aligning SAMM-related activities with appropriate stakeholders and their required competencies. This alignment helps organizations identify the right personnel and visualize shared responsibilities, ensuring a structured approach to secure product development. Implementing the OWASP SAMM Skills Framework involves several key steps. Organizations must first map responsibilities to roles, ensuring each task is assigned to the right individual. Next, they must evaluate and align stakeholders with specific SAMM streams, validating that those assigned understand and accept their roles in advanci...
