The Cybersecurity Club hosted a global workshop led by Ross Young to introduce OWASP’s Threat and Safeguard Matrix (TaSM), a practical framework that maps material threats to safeguards aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Attendees worked through phishing, ransomware, web application attacks, third‑party data loss, and AI data‑leak scenarios involving ChatGPT and Google Gemini to identify coverage gaps, prioritize investments, and explore AI automation from Clear Capabilities. #OWASP #TaSM #RossYoung #ClearCapabilities #ChatGPT #GoogleGemini #NIST
Keypoints
- Ross Young presented TaSM, which organizes defenses by material threats and aligns safeguards with the NIST functions.
- Nearly 300 professionals from ten countries participated in hands‑on sessions and live demonstrations.
- Workshop exercises showed how TaSM exposes gaps across Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover for threats like phishing and ransomware.
- Participants mapped safeguards to prevent sensitive data leaks into AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini using technical and procedural controls.
- The session emphasized measuring a small set of meaningful metrics and using AI automation (Clear Capabilities) to scale security tasks.
