After attending OWASP Global DC 2023, there are 4 key takeaways I want to share: (1) Events are back!

(2) AI is being used by everyone, but not well productized. Within the OWASP crowd, AI is viewed as a a "good enough" solution for many problems like static analysis of code. Surprisingly, privacy concerns were not as big of an issue as I thought they would be by practitioners on the ground—the perceived value and benefits people are getting from the tools is, so far, outweighing the perceived security risk of data leaking into public LLMs.

(3) Everyone is an ASPM now. (4) API Security is now a well-understood and accepted problem. Everyone I spoke with at this event knew what the problem was, and furthermore had already tried and failed to secure their APIs using existing solutions like SAST, DAST, and WAF.
