Washington DC SAMM & DSOMM User Day
The OWASP SAMM team teamed up with DSOMM for a special User Day, as part of Global AppSec USA (Washington, DC) , on November 5th, 2025.
We spent the day sharing experiences, exploring real-world use of SAMM and DSOMM, and learning from each other about how to advance software security maturity.
