Episode 14 — OWASP: Top 10 and MASVS
This episode gives you the OWASP vocabulary and mental models that repeatedly show up in application-focused scenarios, including web and mobile contexts. You’ll learn how the OWASP Top 10 groups common web risks into categories like broken access control, injection, insecure design, security misconfiguration, and identification and authentication failures, and why those labels matter when selecting the best explanation or remediation. We’ll also introduce OWASP MASVS as a mobile security benchmark, emphasizing areas such as secure storage, network communication protections, platform interaction, and permission use. Through short scenarios, you’ll practice recognizing category cues from behavior descriptions, selecting safe validation approaches, and choosing remediation guidance that addresses root cause rather than symptoms. By the end, you’ll be able to interpret OWASP references as practical guidance for what to test, how to describe findings, and what fixes actually reduce risk.
