How to mitigate OWASP vulnerabilities while staying in the flow

Security vulnerabilities in software development continue to be a growing concern, despite efforts over the years to secure code. This issue often arises from using security tools and strategies that do not align with optimizing the developer experience, leading to frustration, reduced usability, and a shift in focus away from security towards rapid software delivery. GitHub aims to address these challenges by advocating for embedding security into the developer workflow and leveraging resources like the OWASP Top 10 list, which highlights common vulnerabilities such as cryptographic failures, injection attacks, insecure design, and outdated components. Strategies such as GitHub's Advanced Security features, including secret scanning and Dependabot alerts, are recommended to mitigate these risks while maintaining developer productivity. These approaches focus on integrating security measures within the development process, encouraging collaboration among developers, security professionals, and risk management teams, ultimately fostering a secure and efficient software development environment.
