Creator Influence

Chris Romeo

Co-hosted by industry veterans Chris Romeo and Robert Hurlbut, The Application Security Podcast operates as a technical hub for developers and architects focusing on the design phase of secure software. The duo provides peer-to-peer insights through deep-dive interviews, moving past surface-level hacking stories to address systemic vulnerabilities. They are primary evangelists for Threat Modeling, frequently collaborating with the Open Web Application Security Project to host the annual OWASP Board of Directors Debate. Recent programming explores the intersection of cybersecurity and emerging tech, featured in the Secure Vibe Coding series with Tanya Janca and detailed examinations of the Agentic AI Manifesto. Romeo, CEO of Devici, and Hurlbut, a Microsoft MVP, leverage their decades of engineering experience to bridge the gap between abstract security requirements and practical DevOps implementation. Their focus on the build process makes the channel a specialized resource for professionals overseeing large-scale software supply chains and organizational security culture shifts.
