Webinar: AI in the Spotlight: Exploring the Future of AppSec Evolution

It’s no secret that AI is transforming how we build and secure software requiring organizations to face a new set of critical questions. Is a general-purpose AI sufficient for implementing reliable security fixes, or do we need specialized models designed from the ground up with security in mind? And how can we adjust our established review and testing methods to an era where code, and even the models that generate it, may require new forms of examination? 

Join our experts, Bar-El Tayouri and Amit Chita, for a dynamic discussion to explore if AppSec traditional approaches remain viable in the age of AI or whether we must reimagine our strategies and toolchains altogether:

• Harnessing AI for AppSec success: Learn how AI-driven innovations can enhance productivity, reduce risk, and create business value.
• Evolving team dynamics: Understand how AI reshapes roles and promotes collaboration between security, development, and operations teams.
• Addressing new vulnerabilities: Discover how AI-powered coding tools can inadvertently introduce risks into your codebase—and how to mitigate them effectively.

Gain actionable insights into how cutting-edge AI capabilities are reshaping the future of AppSec, and walk away with a deeper understanding of the next steps in securing AI-driven development.
