The Open Source Wildcard: Don't Roll the Dice on Risk

The tech M&A landscape is rapidly evolving with the pervasive integration of AI into target company applications. As machine learning, Generative AI, and other intelligent technologies become central to innovation, traditional software due diligence is no longer enough. This session addresses the critical new dimensions of risk and opportunity that AI introduces to acquisitions.

Join us for a practical framework designed to equip M&A principals and legal counsel with the tools to thoroughly assess AI-driven targets. We’ll dive into the essential areas you must explore, from evaluating model provenance and performance to navigating complex data governance and ethical considerations.

Key takeaways will include how-to effectively assess:

• AI Footprint: Understanding the strategic implementation and problem-solving capabilities of AI.
• Security Risks: Comprehensive data protection, access control, and penetration testing for AI systems.
• Legal & IP Risks: Clarifying model and training data ownership, alongside API terms.
• Quality & Reliability Risks: Ensuring performance, effective retraining, and model explainability.
• Regulatory & Compliance Risks: Navigating emerging regulations like the EU AI Act and critical data privacy concerns.

M&A's New Frontier: Assessing AI Software Risk in Your Next Deal

AI-enabled development tools and coding assistants are pushing CI pipelines, fueling innovation, and iterating business-critical software faster than ever before. Security teams are now forced to catch up. The burden to remedy AI tools often weak coding practices and to overcome their ignorance to third-party vulnerabilities and licenses is further complicated by developers' implicit trust in their output and an intrinsic incompatibility between AppSec and Dev teams' primary role: to ship functional code quickly.  

Enterprises can no longer treat development and AppSec workflows as separate entities. To unify them, however, requires fast, reliable, automated ways to evaluate every line of code that flows through the pipeline and to provide immediate access to fix methods. This only manifests with integrated security gates across CI/CD pipelines, aligned to risk-tolerance standards and optimized to maintain the speed benefits of AI-enabled development.  

Join us as we analyze DevSecOps in the age of AI and structure a viable strategy that accounts for:  

- Software security and license compliance issues introduced, at speed, by AI coding assistants  
- The dissonance between the adoption of AI-enabled dev tools and AppSec's preparedness to secure their output  
- Business priorities that span development, security, legal, and executive requirements

AI's IOU: Maximizing value from AI without paying for it later

With software development accelerating in the AI era, there are even more sources of vulnerabilities to track. Managing this is an enormously complex task, as organizations are already struggling to unify data across disparate tools for testing, SCM, and reporting. As more organizations adopt AI-assisted development, existing issues with fragmented risk visibility will only get bigger. 
 
In this webinar, you will learn about capabilities for achieving a high-fidelity, organizational view of risk posture to better streamline auditing, visualize AppSec gaps, and identify your most vulnerable software. We will talk about necessary capabilities for aggregating key sources of data, standardizing risk scoring, and how you can set up the right technical foundations for success.

Contextualizing Risk in the Age of AI Development

AppSec teams are being stretched to the limit trying to keep up with the pace, volume and complexity of modern application development. Current trends in software development – the transformative role AI, the increasingly complex and vulnerable software supply chain, and the mounting requirement to both scale and focus security issue remediation – help shed light on what measures organizations need to put in place to stay ahead.     

In this session we will outline these trends and provide data and insights from our research into them. We will also outline practical steps you can take now to position yourselves to manage the evolving requirements of Application Security.

The State of AppSec & Beyond

We'll explore the paradigm shift that is reshaping creativity and problem-solving in development, the new frontier of AI-influenced software risk, and discuss ways in which AI coding assistants and open source AI models form the next evolution of the software supply chain crisis.
 
This session charts a course from high-level business concerns directly to the developer experience, examining:
- The business and contractual liabilities that arise when AI-generated code enters your products.
- New, instinct-driven "vibe programming" and the debate over whether this emerging methodology is a sustainable path to innovation or a source of unpredictable risk.
- How AI coding assistance alters hiring strategies and the critical role of code review by security-capable developers in an AI-driven workflow.
- Emerging attack vectors tied to the growing use of open-source AI models.
- Viable paths forward to harness the power of AI, manage its inherent risks, and minimize organizational disruption by establishing resilient and scalable safety nets within your pipeline.

AI-Assisted Disruption: How Change Impacts Dev and Sec as Organizations Pivot to AI

Application security hasn’t gotten any simpler—especially as AI accelerates the way software is built. More code, more complexity, and more fragmented tooling make it harder to answer a basic question: Where are we exposed?  

This session explores how teams can regain clarity at the first step of any risk management program. That means identifying what’s running, what’s been tested, and what needs attention. We’ll look at how automation, speed, and policy can work together to improve visibility without slowing delivery.  

As part of Black Duck’s broader approach to application risk management, we’ll also show how solutions like Black Duck Polaris™ Platform scales with the way modern teams build software.

Identifying Risk in the Age of AI-Assisted Development

Security is the result of implementing the tools, personnel, and insight necessary to make informed decisions to mitigate risks within the software you create and the assets you consume through the software supply chain. While this process can be elaborate, rapid releases and CI/CD methodologies require that AppSec move at the speed of DevOps.

Achieving this is only possible with integrated controls and mechanisms to detect, prioritize, and address security issues at every stage in the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines. But how do you get there?

Join us as we recommend ways to establish security within DevOps without sacrificing efficiency. We’ll discuss:
- Pitfalls that can derail an organization’s AppSec initiative
- Strategies for overcoming obstacles to efficient, effective DevSecOps
- Recommendations for realizing integrated DevSecOps at scale

Integrating AppSec for Efficient DevSecOps

AI technologies are compelling teams to accelerate software development and to explore innovations previously regarded as unattainable. While 67% of organizations use AI coding assistants at least weekly to realize these goals, 57% feel that using AI coding assistants has introduced new security risks or has made it harder to detect issues in their codebase. AppSec teams are scrambling to keep pace.  

Join us for an in-depth exploration of today's DevSecOps landscape based on our yearly Global State of DevSecOps report and findings from independent research institute, SANS. We'll examine the delicate balance between AI-assisted development and modern DevSecOps strategies, focusing on: 
* The impact of AI coding assistants on development pipelines and security workflows 
* How AI-ready organizations maximize AppSec coverage and agility 
* The evolution of traditional application security testing (AST) to AI-enabled AST 
* Prerequisites for a scalable, robust DevSecOps program purpose-built for AI-enabled development
