How You Actually Secure Systems: Using OWASP and NIST Together

This article explains how OWASP Top 10, NIST CSF 2.0, and MITRE ATT&CK complement each other: OWASP provides concrete application-security fixes, NIST structures organization-wide risk management and governance, and MITRE ATT&CK captures real attacker tactics to inform detection and response. The author recommends using NIST as the organizing framework, OWASP for application hardening within Protect, and ATT&CK to mature detection and threat hunting, with risk-based prioritization and consideration for AI-specific extensions.
