The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations approach software development. “How Organizations are Preparing for the Realities of AI-Driven Development” brings together industry leaders to discuss the operational and strategic shifts required as AI moves from experimental use to a core driver of software delivery. Hosted by Sonatype and Discovery, this live webinar offers a timely look at the challenges and opportunities facing development, platform, and security leaders as they adapt to the realities of AI-speed engineering.
AI’s Role in Modernizing Legacy Applications
Legacy systems remain a significant hurdle for many enterprises. The session delves into how AI is transforming the modernization process, enabling organizations to migrate and update legacy applications with greater speed and reduced cost. By leveraging AI-assisted tools, teams can automate code migration, streamline refactoring, and minimize the risks traditionally associated with large-scale modernization projects.
Comparing Traditional and AI-Assisted Approaches
One of the central themes is the comparison between conventional modernization efforts and those powered by AI. The discussion highlights how AI-driven solutions can lower operational costs, accelerate timelines, and improve overall efficiency. This shift is prompting technology leaders to rethink established processes and embrace new methodologies that align with the pace of AI innovation.
Security and Governance at AI Speed
As development cycles accelerate, maintaining robust security and governance becomes increasingly complex. The webinar addresses the unique risks introduced by AI-assisted development, including software supply chain vulnerabilities and the need for updated governance frameworks. Strategies for securing both the development process and the resulting software are explored, with a focus on practical, actionable guidance for leaders navigating this evolving landscape.
Industry Context and Audience
This event is tailored for professionals responsible for shaping the future of software delivery—CTOs, systems architects, DevOps leaders, and security specialists across sectors such as technology, finance, manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, and retail. The content is particularly relevant for those managing the dual pressures of modernization and security in an era defined by rapid AI adoption.
Featured Technologies and Thought Leadership
Participants will gain insights from Sonatype’s suite of solutions, including Nexus One Platform, Nexus Repository, Firewall, Lifecycle, Guide, SBOM Manager, and Maven Central.
