José Carlos Chávez - When Museums Get Hacked: OWASP Top 10 Lessons from Heists
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with Jose Carlos Chavez from Okta to break down the OWASP Top 10 for 2025 and what actually changed since 2021. We trace Jose's path from software engineering and observability into security, dig into why broken access control still holds the number one spot despite mature tooling, and ask the question that never seems to get old: why is injection still a top five risk after decades of parameterized queries and ORMs? Jose walks us through the growing role of supply chain and software integrity failures, the surprisingly weak security posture around AI skills and agent permissions, and why immutable, reliable logging still matters as much as ever. We close on root causes that show up across nearly every category on the list and why ownership, not tooling alone, is what actually moves the needle on security.
