Managing Security and Privacy Risks in the Generative AI Era

Back in the data center days, companies had a single application that a single engineer deployed and never modified. If a vulnerability was found, the engineer could log into a server and fix it. Today, with the industry spending close to a trillion dollars on cloud infrastructure, operations, and applications, the attack surface has changed dramatically. Modern cloud development is making it faster than ever to build applications, but also more complicated to protect them. How can security and development teams use generative AI to automatically discover and fix cloud vulnerabilities at root causes? Will humans still need to approve changes before they are pushed into production? When will the promise of GenAI be a reality? Join this session and learn how to benefit today, while building a strategy for autonomous remediation in the future.
