Why OWASP Top 10 2025’s #3 Risk Demands Your Immediate Attention In November 2025, the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) released its eighth edition of the Top 10 security risks, and the message is clear: software supply chain security has graduated from a niche concern to one of the most critical threats facing modern organizations. Ranked at position #3 with an alarming 5.19% incidence rate, Software Supply Chain Failures represents a paradigm shift in how we must approach application security.

A practical guide to understanding and fixing a common security scanner false alarm.

Recently I have observed more development teams using AI coding assistants like Claude Code directly in their CI/CD pipelines. While the productivity gains can be impressive, this trend is raising serious security concerns that every organization should understand.

You’ve done the hard work. Your team created a comprehensive threat model, identified risks, and handed recommendations to the development team. But here’s the million-dollar question: How do you know they actually implemented the security controls? If you’re like most security teams, you’re probably hoping developers added the right code comments, wrote proper tests, and followed all your recommendations. But let’s be honest – that’s not always realistic. Here’s how to independently verify that your threat model recommendations actually made it into production.

With all the fancy security tools available today, you might wonder: should we still bother training developers on security? Or can we just rely on automated systems to catch all the problems? The short answer: You need both.
