Kaizen For Your AppSec Program: Turning Big Problems into Small Steps

Organizations are evolving their use of OWASP SAMM from a simple assessment model to a comprehensive quality control program by applying Kaizen principles to manage different streams in continuous improvement cycles. 

Based on practical experience and 27 interviews with application security program managers across various corporations, this talk identifies recurring implementation pitfalls related to change management, gamification challenges, and difficulties adapting the generic framework to diverse organizational contexts. 


In this webinar we’ll cover: 

• What Kaizen is and how it can be applied in security in different work streams and in a continuous cycle
• Strategies to help build a strong security culture and avoid potential pitfalls 
• How ASPMs can enable teams to adopt this approach
