James Berthoty -- Is DAST Dead? And the future of API security

The Application Security Podcast

In this episode of the Application Security Podcast, host Chris Romeo welcomes James Berthoty, a cloud security engineer with a diverse IT background, to discuss his journey into application and product security.
The conversation spans James's career trajectory from IT operations to cloud security, his experiences with security tools like Snyk and StackHawk, and the evolving landscape of Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security. They delve into the practical challenges of CVEs, reachability analysis, and the complexities of patching in mid-sized companies. James shares his views on the often misunderstood role of WAF and the importance of fixing issues over merely identifying them.
