And she says there are more pitfalls on that path when more of us are working remotely and online. She shares how to overcome the common traps of virtual negotiations with trust-enhancing hacks such as E-charisma and language style matching. Thompson is the author of the book “Negotiating the Sweet Spot: The Art of Leaving Nothing on the Table.”

To Negotiate Better, Start with Yourself

The coauthor of the classic book Getting to Yes has new advice on how to negotiate, designed for a world that feels more conflicted than ever.

Ury, who also coined the term BATNA, explains the latest thinking from his research and consulting. He shares his tried-and-true methods for overcoming yourself to negotiate better outcomes at work and in life. Ury wrote the new book Possible: How We Survive (and Thrive) in an Age of Conflict.

OWASP Categories

Web application security is a key concern for any organization that develops or uses web applications. The software security community created the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to help educate developers and security professionals on the latest web application security risks. Tenable has published reports for each OWASP version that has been released (2010,2013,2017, API 2019, and 2021). The individual reports provide organizations the ability to monitor web applications by identifying the top 10 most critical web application security risks as described in OWASP's Top 10 Application Security Risks document for the OWASP version being utilized.

The OWASP Top 10 Application Security Risks document outlines several different aspects of web-based security concerns, such as Cross-Site Scripting attacks (XSS), security misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure. The focus of the OWASP Top 10 is to reduce risk across the most vulnerable business assets across the internet. Following these guidelines empowers organizations to reduce risk of organizational and consumer data theft.

Administrators need to ensure that their organization is not vulnerable to any of the attacks identified in the OWASP Top 10 Application Security Risks document for the relevant OWASP version being currently being used. Compliance related issues, such as known vulnerable components and insufficient logging, must be remediated to eliminate gaps in an organization's security that are not directly tied to exploitable attacks.

This report covers all aspects of the OWASP Top 10 version being utilized and provides administrators the tools and information needed to aid their efforts. The report contains 10 chapters, each aligned with one of the ten most critical web application risks (A1-A10). The information provides guidance to organizations on the actions necessary to mitigate business risk through strong security practices. The report requirements are Tenable Web App Scanning.

Report Templates:

The OWASP Top 10 categories are updated every 3 to 4 years and highlight the most critical web application security vulnerabilities. The following report templates are available and contain sections for each of the listed OWASP Top 10 categories.

  • OWASP Categories 2010 - For 2010, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Broken Authentication in the top three positions.
  • OWASP Categories 2013 - For 2013, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Injection, Broken Authentication and Session Management in the top three positions.
  • OWASP Categories 2017 - For 2017, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Injection, Broken Authentication, and Sensitive Data Exposure in the top three positions.
  • OWASP Categories API 2019 - For 2019, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Broken Object Level Authorization, Broken User Authentication, and Excessive Data Exposure in the top three positions.
  • OWASP Categories 2021 - For 2021, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, and Injection in the top three positions.

Web application security is a key concern for any organization that develops or uses web applications. The software security community created the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)  to help educate developers and security professionals on the latest web application security risks. This dashboard provides organizations the ability to monitor web applications by identifying the top 10 most critical web application security risks as described in OWASP's Top 10 Application Security Risks document for 2021.

The OWASP Application Security Risks document outlines several different categories of web-based security concerns, such as Cross-Site Scripting attacks (XSS), security misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure. OWASP's focus is to reduce risk across the most vulnerable business assets across the internet. Following these guidelines empowers organizations to reduce risk of organizational and consumer data theft.

Administrators need to ensure that their organization is not vulnerable to any of the attacks identified by OWASP. Remediating compliance related issues, such as known vulnerable components and insufficient logging, is important to eliminate gaps in an organization's infrastructure that are not directly tied to exploitable attacks.

These dashboards are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, Assurance Report Cards, and assets. The dashboards can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Compliance & Configuration Assessment. The dashboard requirements are:

  • Tenable.sc 6.2.0
  • Tenable Web Application Scanning

This dashboard covers all versions of the OWASP Top 10 from 2010 to 2021, and provides administrators the tools and information needed to aid their efforts. The dashboard provides comparative view between version, using the cross-reference field utilized by plugins. The information will guide organizations on the actions to mitigate business risk through strong security practices. 

Components

WAS Data Concerns: This bar chart displays current (2021) OWASP vulnerability counts, sorted by plugin family and severity. According to OWASP, "the Top 10 represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications." Identifying and fixing these issues provides organizations with a solid foundation for secure web development.

OWASP Categories by URL: This component displays vulnerability status counts for each Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the organization. The URLs are sorted from those with the highest, most severe vulnerabilities to the least severe. Each URL has a graph of severity results for each severity category. 

OWASP Versions by State: This matrix displays the current and all previous OWASP versions along with a column displaying each state (New, Current, Resurfaced, Fixed). This information assists organizations in identifying OWASP vulnerabilities that are new, currently active, have previously been mitigated and have resurfaced, or have been fixed, for each OWASP version. 

OWASP Versions by Severity: This matrix displays the current and all previous OWASP Top 10 from Critical to Low. Each cell displays data on the count of web application vulnerabilities associated with the OWASP Top 10 release, and severity level. This information assists organizations in identifying the most severe OWASP vulnerabilities for the OWASP version in use.

Summer School 7: Negotiating and the empathetic nibble

How do you get the best deal? How do you know you're getting the best deal? Whether you're talking down the price of a car or talking up your salary, you don't have to be a jerk to get what you want. Negotiations can be win-win – if you know what to ask for and how to grow the pie.

We have three stories in today's episode about how to negotiate tactically. First, a hostage negotiator tries to buy a car. Will he get far? Then, one man's encounter at the airline ticket booth may inform how you respond to your next job offer. Finally, how to avoid a food fight and make a deal that benefits everybody.

We'll learn about something called BATNA, or best alternative to a negotiated agreement, which can tell you when to stand firm and when to walk away. We'll find out how to shift our thinking about what success can look like in a negotiation, and shift your counterpart's thinking too.

Come learn the techniques of expert negotiators in the penultimate episode of Planet Money Summer School, MBA edition. Next week: Graduation! So, you have one week to negotiate the cost of your cap and gown.

Our Summer School series is hosted by Robert Smith and produced by Max Freedman. Our project manager is Julia Carney. This episode was edited by our executive producer, Alex Goldmark, and engineered by James Willetts. The show was fact-checked by Sierra Juarez.
