Developer-First Security: Reducing Risk at the Source

6:00 PM - 8:30 PM CET | Munich, Germany

Event Overview

One of the key questions today is, how your organization can reduce existing information and cyber security risks of its enterprise applications by modernizing them and take them to the next level, including by better eradicating vulnerabilities, all amid emerging technologies like AI.

As a C-suite executive of a company doing internal or external individual software development, you would like to understand these risks and have an idea how to deal with
them. Organizations face pressure to deliver faster, innovate, and scale infrastructure while ensuring security and compliance. Seamless developer experience and adaptable
frameworks are critical for competitiveness and resilience. The use of AI in this context can be both at the same time, a blessing and a curse, depending on the understanding,
awareness and risk estimation on the C-Level as wells as the attributed budget.

This event offers insights from a strategic point of view into best practices for application modernization, dynamic scaling, and continuous compliance, while exploring how AI can be adopted responsibly to drive efficiencies and stay ahead.

Among the discussion points:

  • How can an effective AI governance in development help support business?
  • How can AI be relevant from a developer’s perspective and what does AI mean in this
    context?
  • How can modern development platforms enable developers in AI integration?
  • As responsible AI usage is not for free, how can budgets for AI integration be
    determined?
  • How to incorporate optimized developer experience into real business and what are the effects at business level, illustrated by some real life use cases?
