Humans like condensed lists that they can digest in 60 seconds -- this is one of them.   Changing behavior with positive security models requires clear activities that should be on CTO and developers checklists.

As a result of recent exchange on the OWASP leaders mailing list, Andrew van der Stock consolidated and the following activities: 
  • Security Architecture (including incorporating agile ideas)
  • Use a (more) secure development frameworks and leverage enterprise frameworks (UAG, etc)
  • Input validation
  • Output Encoding
  • Identity: Authentication and Session Management
  • Access Control (service / controller, data, URL, function / CSRF, presentation, etc)
  • Data Protection (Data at rest, including in cloud)
  • Audit, Logging and Error Handling
  • Secure Configuration
  • Secure Communications (Data in transit)
So instead of the OWASP Top 10 Risks think in a more positive action model.
