What is Ask AppSec?

Ask AppSec is a compact, friendly hub for developers and security engineers who want direct, practical answers without fluff. We focus on the moves that actually ship: lightweight SSDLC, real-world DevSecOps, secure coding patterns, threat modeling, cloud & K8s guardrails, supply chain hygiene, and the OWASP Top Ten.

How to use the Ask box

Type a question (e.g., “How do I lock down egress in Kubernetes?”) and hit Ask!.
We run a client-side fuzzy search over our posts and guides so you get instant results. Matching is tolerant to typos and synonyms, and it works offline after the first load.

What we publish

We keep posts short, testable, and bias toward checklists:

  • Threat Modeling: small templates that prevent theater
  • Secure Coding: reusable snippets and guardrails
  • DevSecOps / SSDLC: processes a 3-person team can run
  • Cloud & K8s: egress rules, policies, and build pipelines
  • Supply Chain: SBOM, provenance, and update strategy
  • OWASP Top Ten: modern examples that map to real defects
  • Tools: minimal setups that don’t annoy developers

Explore topics from the sidebar, or start at /posts/ for the latest.

Our approach

  • Fast and accessible: static pages, keyboard-friendly, mobile-first.
  • Action over theory: we prefer a working checklist to a 40-page PDF.
  • Transparent edits: posts are dated; major changes are noted inline.
