AppSec in the age of Agentic Software Development

🛡️ AppSec in the age of agentic software development - how security engineers are keeping up with the shift in modern SDLC

As LLM-assisted coding and agentic workflows become the norm, application security is being redefined in real time. If you’re a Security Engineer grappling with how AppSec evolves in this new landscape -- this session is for you.

💬 Format

This is an interactive, peer-driven discussion. Bring your experiences, questions, and ideas as we explore how security is being built, tested, and enforced in modern, AI-assisted development workflows.

🧠 Topics for discussion

• Securing CI/CD pipelines with LLM-assisted coding
• AI-assisted triage and remediation workflows
• Experiences with tools like Claude Code, Codex, and their security implications
• Gaps in current AppSec approaches for AI-driven systems
• Emerging challenges and opportunities for Security Engineering

👥 Who should attend

• Security Engineers working in AppSec
• Engineers building security tools for modern development workflows
• Practitioners exploring security in AI-driven systems

🤝 Why attend

• Learn from peers tackling similar challenges
• Share real-world experiences — successes, failures, and open questions
• Collaborate and connect with others shaping the future of AppSec
