So first day on the job, I'm in the application security team. Any tips? Anything much appreciated!

Just one, don't fuck up. 😅😅😅

security by obscurity

@JoshBent or maybe hide in plain sight

@halfflat just like XOR

Find the coffee machine and make sure there's fresh coffee. No one like the guy that didn't make another pot.

For all security teams:

Know what the culture is like (is security a ghost, afterthought, or built in?)

Dont be a bully, but be firm

Dont let people bully you; management is your friend

Take the time to learn about the tech you get asked about; don't just assume you know it all

GET TRAINING!!! Get them to send you to SANS or Defcon or Blackhat and take some intro to security courses

Open source is good, but sometimes you can get a COTS product that you wont have to upkeep for less than it would cost to pay you to DIY

Document your processes; you dont want to spend all day telling people what they should be doing, they should know where to go for what they need, and only ask you as a last resort

Those are just some of the tips i would give. Remember that security is slow, and its for the better.

Thank you everyone :)
