Could dependency automation be that rare concept embraced by both developers and security leaders alike?
As modern software development becomes increasingly complex, managing and updating dependencies efficiently is crucial. 
Dependency automation tools streamline this process by automatically identifying, updating, and managing libraries and packages, reducing the manual effort required and minimizing the risk of outdated or vulnerable components. 
This proactive approach not only enhances security by ensuring that known vulnerabilities are promptly addressed, but also accelerates development cycles by keeping projects up-to-date with the latest improvements and fixes. 
Join us to explore how automating dependency management can enhance both security and efficiency, and discover why it’s a game-changer in the software development lifecycle.

Dependency Automation: Developer delight & Security satisfaction

In this webinar, you will learn about:
The unique security challenges facing AI models
How to identify and automatically map all AI models within your codebase, even hidden ones
Proven strategies to proactively address vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and frameworks used by your AI

Securing Your AI: Protecting Against Hidden Threats

We all want to have the best security posture possible, especially when it comes to our mission-critical applications and the software we make available as part of the software supply chain. 
Every security team dreams of fully implementing Zero Trust as the standard across the whole of the organization and having flawless defenses.
In reality, though, security is a never-ending journey, as the landscape constantly shifts at an ever-accelerating rate. 
Defending the perimeter used to be the goal, but in the ultra-interconnected world of services, cloud platforms, and open-source dependencies, we need to rethink how we defend ourselves and our customers. 
We need to stop unrealistically striving for perfection and get back to basics to make sure we are guarding against the most likely, most common, and most costly threats that continue to emerge.

In this webinar we will cover:
- Understanding the threats throughout the Software Supply Chain
- The benefits and realities of implementing Zero Trust
- Thinking through trust, attestation, and scanning
- Finding the right balance of time and effort for security ROI
- Thinking past compliance and defending against the most likely scenarios

For many organizations, protecting the crown jewels means protecting the source code for their applications. How can security teams put effective controls around source code? 
One of the most common issues around source code management is secrets and configuration management. 
When the organization’s source code is stored within third-party code repositories, exposed configuration files and secrets such as credentials and API keys put organizations at risk. 
How can security teams work with the development teams to ensure that secrets are managed securely and not stored in publicly accessible locations? 
This webinar will offer insight on how to protect the source code from data exposures and theft.

Maturing your Application Security Program

Do you know which vulnerabilities in your applications are exploitable? How confident are you in your organization's ability to thwart potential security threats? 

Approximately 70% of organizations have encountered at least one serious security incident from software vulnerabilities in the last year. Don't let your organization be next!

To effectively tackle critical vulnerabilities in their applications, developers need accurate insights. EPSS scores play a crucial role, providing a proactive approach for prioritizing security risks.

In this session, experts will delve into:
* What EPSS scores tell you about your security risk
* How you can use EPSS to address your most critical vulnerabilities
* Why CVSS scores are not enough

Don't miss your opportunity to learn from the EPSS expert team.

Harnessing Exploitability Information for Effective Prioritization

Today’s threat landscape is increasingly unmanageable for many companies as they struggle with an application security approach built to react rather than take charge. 
Take one example: vulnerability alerts. A reactive program is built to scan and alert, often overwhelming DevSecOps teams with red flags that are often false positives. Not only do real alerts get lost in the noise, but teams often have no way to prioritize the highest-risk flaws.  

Taking charge of the process requires an aligned approach that leverages agile learning techniques and SAST programs. This equips developers with the tools they need to eliminate vulnerable code writing and mitigate future risks. 

Join our interactive panel of experts to learn take-charge tactics, including the following: 
* Managing risk through a repo-centric SAST approach
* Innovative techniques to distill noise into actionable priorities aligned with business goals.
* Secure code training programs that deliver quantifiable value by integrating with SAST and training content

Don't miss out on the opportunity to cultivate a mindset for enhancing your application security.

Taking charge of vulnerability alerts

Software vulnerabilities are at the heart of a data breach. 
Those bugs can be in your third-party software or your own internal applications. 
When software vendors regularly issue updates and patches, how do you know which ones to prioritize? 
How do you ensure your own development team is writing secure code? 
In this panel discussion, experts will discuss how to identify, assess, and prioritize the risk of an attacker exploiting the latest vulnerabilities in your systems. 
They will offer strategies for using DevSecOps for your internal apps as well as building a sound patching policy for your third-party software.
