Conference Description
Key Takeaways
- Examines how AI introduces new attack surfaces, machine identities, and autonomous actors that reshape security risk models
- Focuses on runtime security and Layer 7 as critical control planes for modern security architectures
- Addresses the blurring of traditional security boundaries as attackers move across identities, applications, APIs, infrastructure, and data
- Designed for application security engineers, cybersecurity architects, DevSecOps practitioners, and technical leads
- Hybrid format with presentations and an interactive secure coding game
About the Event
The OWASP Nashville Chapter hosts this session examining how artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the security landscape. The event provides a practical framework for understanding AI-driven risks, achieving runtime visibility, and adapting to architectural changes that define next-generation security platforms. Attendees can participate in person at Asurion Corporate Headquarters or join online.
Runtime Security and Layer 7 as the Control Plane
A central theme of the event is the convergence of security controls at runtime, particularly at Layer 7. The session positions runtime as the environment where AI operates and where security teams must establish visibility and control. This architectural perspective reflects broader shifts in how organizations must approach security when AI and automation play central roles in their infrastructure.
The Blurring of Security Boundaries
The event argues that the most significant security shift may not be AI itself, but rather how attackers now move fluidly across traditional boundaries. Threats no longer respect the divisions between identities, applications, APIs, infrastructure, and data. Security professionals must develop strategies that account for this cross-domain movement rather than defending isolated perimeters.
Who Should Attend
This event suits security professionals working with application security, identity management, and modern infrastructure protection. Application security engineers, cybersecurity architects, DevSecOps practitioners, security analysts, IT managers, and technical leads will find the content relevant, particularly those in technology-driven organizations integrating AI into their environments.
