Turbo Talks · Live Session
For more than two decades, application security has evolved through secure coding, SAST, DAST, DevSecOps, and Shift Left. AI may represent a more fundamental change, because both software creation and attacks can now operate at machine speed. Ed Adams shares a perspective built from more than 20 years in application security.
