If you're interested in a way to implement Zero Trust principles like least-privilege access or make your access policies more granular without creating code bloat this is something to check out.

Cerbos Hub externalizes application permissions (RBAC/ABAC) and makes it easier to write and maintain fine-grained access policies without falling into a slow doom spiral of spaghetti code.

You write your policies in a central repo, and deploy as many containerized policy decision points as you need alongside the relevant services in your application. Policy checks are an API call. No single point of failure or lag issues.

You can maintain and monitor distributed policy decision points from one place. Make changes in Hub once and the changes are deployed everywhere. It supports PDPs deployed in serverless environments, at the edge or on device. There's a collaborative policy playground to write and test your policies. It has a central audit log of all the policy decisions that take place across your application.

Hello everyone,

I work in appsec, my manager would like to send us to a conference this year. We are based in Europe, and the company would like to across intercontinental travel.

I have OWASP Global 2024 in Lisbon on my radar, as well as the BlackHat EU in London, is there any other conference you guys would recommend?

I talk about a report I've made to MSRC in the beginning of the year regarding vscode.

It's a bit different. There's no in depth technical stuff, because I basically just reported the feature, not a bug.

This is my first write-up, on a vulnerability I discovered in iTerm2 (RCE). Would love to hear opinions on this. I tried to make the writing engaging.
