Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Explores how AI accelerates both code creation and vulnerability detection in application security
- Addresses the gap between identifying vulnerabilities and having resources to remediate them
- Features founding members of OWASP OASIS and AppSec leaders in panel discussion
- Designed for AppSec professionals, security leaders, open source maintainers and CTOs
- Examines the role of human validation in AI-driven vulnerability remediation
About the Event
“The Future of AppSec, Open Source, and Your Role in the Age of AI” is a virtual panel discussion hosted by DryRun Security. The webinar brings together founding members of OWASP OASIS alongside application security leaders to examine how AI is reshaping secure software development practices.
The central premise addresses a practical challenge: AI tools now accelerate vulnerability detection, but finding more security flaws does not automatically translate into fixing them. Security teams face resource constraints that create a widening gap between identification and remediation. The discussion focuses on how AI-generated fixes, validated by human practitioners, can help organisations address this imbalance.
Key Topics
The panel covers several interconnected areas within application security:
- The impact of AI on application security workflows and code review processes
- Intersection of open source software, AI tooling and collaborative security practices
- Human validation requirements when using AI for vulnerability remediation
- Approaches to scaling secure software development without proportional headcount increases
- Evolving responsibilities for AppSec teams and open source maintainers
The event also references technologies including SAST tools, contextual security analysis and integrations with platforms such as GitHub and GitLab.
The Remediation Gap in Modern AppSec
A recurring theme throughout the webinar is the tension between detection capabilities and remediation capacity. As AI tools generate more vulnerability findings, security teams risk becoming overwhelmed without corresponding improvements in their ability to fix issues. The discussion positions practitioner judgment as essential to this process, with AI serving to augment rather than replace human expertise in secure code review.
Who Should Attend
The webinar targets professionals working at the intersection of security and software development. This includes AppSec engineers and architects, CISOs, product security engineers, CTOs and VPs of Security. Open source maintainers and organisations with development teams leveraging open source components will find the content relevant to their operational challenges. The event suits those seeking to integrate security into development workflows from the outset while managing the volume of findings that modern tooling produces.
