Navigating AI/ML Security: The Essentials for 2025

As the popularity of cloud-native applications continues to surge, containers are becoming the preferred option to package and deploy these applications because of the agility and scalability they deliver. According to Gartner, “by 2022, more than 90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2026 or 2027,up from less than 40% in 2021.”

The popularity of containers has also attracted the attention of hackers who are constantly looking for new ways to exploit them. Containers expand an organization’s attack surface and increase the risk to the applications they house. A comprehensive approach for container security is required to mitigate the risk to containerized applications and infrastructure.

In this webinar, we’ll outline the essential elements required to secure your container environments, including:
• Understanding what containers are (and aren’t)
• How to look at container security holistically
• The top threats to container landscapes
• Relevant case studies

DevSecOps in the Wild: Examining Global Security Factors in 2024

Just as most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly include third party software functionality via calls to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation.
 
Join us for a discussion about web services and how they can affect M&A and other transactions. We’ll cover:
 
• The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services
• Typical terms of service and common pitfalls
• Real-world examples of these risks
• How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or how a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks

Web Services & APIs: Impact on M&A and Other Transactions

Securing software takes teamwork—a unified approach from development through testing and into production. But each team has a distinct set of requirements and workflows that need to align to realize a concerted push for security. And while developers influence risk posture, they are often not trained in or focused on software security practices.

How can you make the effort that developers and DevOps teams are already putting in more valuable to the business? What's the best way to cultivate highly security-conscious developers so your software becomes more secure over time? Is there a way to derive tangible benefits for the business, the team, and the individual?

Join us as we break down a five-step process with real-world applicability. Topics include

• The critical distinction between developers' security awareness and their security capability
• Mechanisms to automate risk detection and accelerate remediation across the pipeline, including at the developer desktop
• How to establish security gates in DevOps pipelines in a way that doesn't derail development or lead to missed shipping deadlines
• How to create a DevSecOps initiative that can evolve with the business and enable developers to sustain security requirements as part of their day-to-day
• Ways to maximize security's value to the business and its customers
