App Release Automation & Developer Efficiency in Hybrid Cloud Environments

Remember the time your release caused a major failure? That moment when you were trying to figure out what happened and fix it as soon as possible? It’s one of those situations you want to prevent! And it just gets more complex as you need to deploy to multiple environments like cloud, on-prem, VMs and containers.

The fact is that enterprises have yet to master the art of transparency throughout their DevOps pipeline to gain efficiency, reduce failure and recover faster.

Join our webinar, where Charitra Agrawal, Director of Product Management and John Kantirakis, Sr. Solution Engineer, will show you how to predict the unpredictable! We’ll help equip you with AI-powered predictive data that empowers you for timely deliveries and fast risk detection. It’s time to get smarter and reduce the headaches and make your DevOps “continuous.”

In this webinar you will learn how to:
* Prevent release delays by proactively understanding the release dependencies and their risks
* Predict the probability of change failure with the change credit score and give a fast pass to low-risk changes
* Remediate problems faster with data that correlates application releases with incidents and production events

Navigating Complexity and Change Fatigue: Strategies from the DevOps 2023 Report

Application Developers are increasing taking the “DevSecOps” ethos to heart. They are realizing that security is not just something that gets bolted onto apps or around networks. Instead, security needs to be built into the applications that they create. While many have turned to SAST solutions to identify vulnerabilities such as Log4Shell in Log4J, others rightfully wonder how to protect the code that they write themselves, code that – by definition – contains working examples of how to penetrate the security perimeter that their InfoSec colleagues have put in place.

This webinar shows:

* How threat actors reverse engineer applications
* How a “Protection Blueprint” secures applications
* What unobfuscated and disassembled machine code looks like to a threat actor
* How obfuscated machine code makes the threat actor’s job more difficult
* What anti-tamper measures do to prevent reverse engineering of applications

How to Build a Blueprint for Secure Software

Did you know that 55% of apps were run in unsafe environments or with modified code? Don’t let your application become another statistic!

The DevSecOps model seeks to unite security and DevOps with the shared goal of rapid and secure software delivery. A powerful aspect of this approach is Application Hardening – the innovative practice of obfuscating code, monitoring apps in the wild, and giving apps the ability to react to attacks.

Watch our Digital.ai webinar with guest speaker Katie Norton, IDC Senior Research Analyst renowned for her expertise in DevSecOps, to discover the secrets of securing your applications in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape. Katie will also discuss how to:

-Improve security posture with build-time application hardening without burdening developers
-Gain visibility into potential attacks through tampering protections
-Empower applications to automatically react to attacks with Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)
-Integrate app hardening with DevOps processes
