Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) will fundamentally change the way that software is built. Whether they are developing or using AI tools, organizations must understand the opportunities and risks involved, and evolve governance, policies and processes to address those risks.

Join this webinar for a deep dive into the issues that arise when using GAI in software development. We’ll cover:

• Open source data and software licenses and risks with AI
• Licensing and clearance considerations for materials used to train AI models
• Licensing considerations in building, training, and using AI models
• A deep dive on GitHub Copilot, including implications of the class action suit

Generative AI, Training Data, Open Source, and GitHub Copilot, Oh My!

APIs have become central to the daily operations of most businesses. Their rapid proliferation has exposed significant vulnerabilities that need immediate attention. This presentation provides an in-depth assessment of the current state of API security. We discuss the growth of API-related incidents and provide a framework for improving API security within organizations.

Join this webinar to learn about
• API security challenges due to the increase in API usage, and the resulting vulnerabilities
• Proactive security integrations for incorporating security measures throughout the entire API development life cycle
• A framework for enhancing API security to protect against emerging threats

Elevating API Security: A Structured Approach

Legislation requiring stringent software security practices by software producers is being passed around the globe. This requires organizations to rethink their approach to software security, which industry standards they follow, and the best practices for their software development teams.

NIST has produced guidance known as the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). The SSDF is a series of practices and associated tasks that serve as a baseline for teams seeking to securely develop software in a standardized way. Attestation to conformance with a subset of the SSDF has been signaled by the U.S.

In this webinar, you will learn the best practices for performing an SSDF readiness assessment including:

• Whether your organization’s software development practices align with the SSDF
• How to determine which controls are lacking for conformance with guidelines
• How to perform associated corrective recommendations on time
• Case studies of successful U.S. government attestations

Best Practices for Leveraging the SSDF

Do you want to secure your software at scale? An application security posture management (ASPM) solution could be the answer. Maintain a strong security posture —and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations—by gaining visibility into your applications.

Join us for a panel discussion where we share steps for securing applications. You'll learn

• Real-world use cases: Discover how regulatory-heavy industries and large enterprises use ASPM to address security challenges

• Operationalizing testing: Gain insights into how security teams can use ASPM to automate and operationalize security testing

• Maturing your AppSec program: Learn practical steps to enhance your AppSec program with ASPM

Don't miss the opportunity to learn how to be proactive in risk management.

Secure Application Software at Scale

Understanding the risks associated with open source software has become the norm in tech due diligence, but not all approaches are created equal. Knowing what’s in the software you’re acquiring is the first step. Few targets are able to produce an SBOM and when they do, it tends to be about 50% accurate. Is “good enough” good enough for M&A?

Join this live Synopsys webinar to learn how a purpose-built M&A open source audit differs from open source management tools and why it matters in tech due diligence. We’ll cover:

• The risks associated with open source software 
•Why depth of analysis matters, and what it results in during M&A diligence
•Why accuracy, reporting and expert human analysis are keys to thorough diligence

There is no shortage of buzz around generative artificial intelligence (GAI). GAI can be used in software development to generate and augment code which saves times and reduces development cycles. But using AI in software development comes with its own set of risks.

Join this webinar to get an introduction to GAI and how you can minimize risk when using it in your organization. We’ll cover:

• What GAI is and how machines learn
• Legal issues with AI including copyright, web scraping, and more
• Overview of current litigation
• Practical approaches to using GAI while minimizing risk

Best Practices for Using AI in Software Development

In February 2024, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 update was released, featuring the latest advancements.

The Board and C-Suite are starting to take notice of the opportunities and risks inherent with powerful new generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools that can quickly create text, code, images, and other media. Product Development and Engineering teams want to use such tools to increase productivity by at least one order of magnitude. In response, the Security, Legal, and Compliance teams typically raise legitimate concerns about the risks involved. What role can the Board and C-Suite play in this situation?
 
Join this live Synopsys webinar to get a jump start on what AI strategy, security, and governance looks like from the Board-level and C-suite. We’ll cover:
 
• Fundamentals of AI, types of models, and data used to inform them
• Expanding existing processes and procedures to address the security risks of GAI
• The top three questions the Board and C-Suite should be asking about GAI
• How to navigate the existing and evolving legal and regulatory landscape

AI Strategy, Security, and Governance: The View from the Top

With the cost of cyberattacks predicted to cost $10.5 trillion by 2025, the European Commission is looking to transform the cybersecurity landscape through the Cyber Resilience Act. The goal of the CRA is to “bolster cybersecurity rules to ensure more secure hardware and software products.” But what does that mean for those of us already involved in AppSec?

Join our experts as they discuss how AppSec professionals may be impacted by CRA as it exists today. Specifically, we’ll explore: 
- Which products may be subject to the CRA based on the definition of “digital elements”
- What impacts this could have on software supply chain moving forward
- How you can assess your AppSec programs to see where you stand with CRA as defined today

The CRA is currently a draft, as such opinions and insights from presenters are subject to change.

What the EU Cyber Resilience Act Means for AppSec

We all can plainly see that AI is the “next big thing.”  Whether your organization is bringing up its skill baseline, integrating LLM chatbots with existing applications, leveraging models to augment existing applications, pulling models off HuggingFace and fine tuning them, or training your own models from scratch, this talk will provide you with a baseline to answer the deceptively basic question: how do I secure it?
 
Join this webinar to learn
