AGENDA

Overview

Modern application security teams are grappling with a new reality: more developers, more apps, and rising risks, while the pressure to speed trusted software to market remains. This Women's History Month, join our dynamic roundtable discussion celebrating the critical role of women in application security (AppSec) and their impact on today’s digital landscape.

From selecting the right tools to fostering a security-centric culture, this roundtable will provide a platform for women to connect, share experiences, and inspire one another. We’ll uncover unique insights and celebrate achievements as we delve into key strategies for building a robust AppSec program while promoting diversity and inclusion in cybersecurity.

Together, we'll explore how to leverage advanced technologies like SAST, SCA, and AI to address emerging threats and drive innovation in application security—all through the lens of empowering women and building equitable teams.

This Women's History Month, join us in celebrating the achievements of women in cybersecurity and exploring how we can collectively drive innovation and equity in AppSec.
