Level Up Your AppSec Game: SAMM's Roadmap to Security Excellence

Join OWASP project leader Sebastien for an engaging and interactive introduction and update on the OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM). We will cover SAMM's purpose and application in jumpstarting and accelerating your software assurance roadmap.

Application Security

This session will provide valuable insights and practical knowledge on leveraging SAMM as secure development framework:

Tools and Assessment Guidance: Discover the range of SAMM tools available to support your software assurance efforts. We will explain the latest assessment guidance, providing you with the knowledge to utilize these tools to their fullest potential.

Mapping to Other Frameworks: Learn how SAMM maps to other frameworks, such as the NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and OpenCRE. This will enable you to leverage SAMM for demonstrating compliance and enhancing your software security posture for any compliance requirement.

Benchmark yourself against peers: The OWASP SAMM Benchmark enables organizations to anonymously compare their software security practices against industry peers, providing insights to identify improvement areas, prioritize security efforts, and track progress over time.
