Let's Talk Software Security - Can't We Just Automate Application Security? - 4/17

Automation is transforming the way we build, deploy, and secure applications—but can we truly automate everything when it comes to application security?

In an era of CI/CD pipelines, AI-assisted coding, and security tools promising "shift-left" solutions, many organizations hope that automation will be the silver bullet for secure software development. But is it enough? What are the limits, risks, and best practices when integrating automation into AppSec?

Join us for an open discussion where we'll explore:

What security tasks can (and can’t) be automated effectively?
Are there any drawbacks when relying too much on security automation?
Where does human expertise fit in alongside AI-driven security tools?
How do we strike the right balance between automation and developer empowerment?
At Let’s Talk Software Security, we don’t host "expert" speakers—we engage in open conversations driven by the experiences and insights of everyone in the room. Whether you’re an AppSec engineer, developer, or security leader, your voice matters.

Join us as we challenge assumptions, share lessons learned, and refine our approach to building secure applications in an automated world.

Note: We do not record our sessions and follow Chatham House Rules to ensure a candid, open, and honest discussion.
