Did you know that 55% of apps were run in unsafe environments or with modified code? Don’t let your application become another statistic!

The DevSecOps model seeks to unite security and DevOps with the shared goal of rapid and secure software delivery. A powerful aspect of this approach is Application Hardening – the innovative practice of obfuscating code, monitoring apps in the wild, and giving apps the ability to react to attacks.

Watch our Digital.ai webinar with guest speaker Katie Norton, IDC Senior Research Analyst renowned for her expertise in DevSecOps, to discover the secrets of securing your applications in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape. Katie will also discuss how to:

-Improve security posture with build-time application hardening without burdening developers
-Gain visibility into potential attacks through tampering protections
-Empower applications to automatically react to attacks with Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)
-Integrate app hardening with DevOps processes

Application Hardening as Part of a Holistic DevSecOps Strategy

As enterprises continue actively making more apps available with greater frequency, Application Security is a top priority for organizations to safeguard their apps against threat actors seeking to reverse engineer them. This approach aims to prevent breaches in their perimeter security and protect valuable assets like IP, money, and more.

While you may already be familiar with tools such as SAST, DAST, and SCA to secure the apps you create, the working examples and zero-day vulnerabilities your apps contain require a greater level of protection.  

Join our webinar that explores:     
- Current challenges with DevOps and how to meet those challenges
- How a DevSecOps defense-in-depth approach protects your apps and organization from attacks
- The benefits of obfuscation, anti-tamper, and RASP (Runtime App Self-Protection)

How to Integrate Application Security into DevOps

Agile practices have been evolving for 17 years, and the dynamic business environment is shifting faster all the time – we need Agile more than ever. Agile methodologies have proven they can transform the way businesses succeed, but Agilists are encountering more and greater challenges, so it's time to ask: Where does Agile go from here? 

Join this engaging webinar, sponsored by Digital.ai, as an expert panel discusses the key findings from the 17th State of Agile Report, addressing crucial questions such as: 

- What are the big changes for Agile in 2024? Where will we pivot next? 
- Why is Agile the best way to handle externally-driven changes as well as ongoing internal challenges? 
- How can we bridge the gap between team-level success and business leaders to overcome the time, money, and risk challenges in Agile adoption?

Ethical Hacking: The Future of Attacks on Financial Services

As digital transformation sweeps across the Financial Services industry, enterprises are grappling with increasing challenges – from maintaining stellar customer service amid growing user bases to ensuring ironclad security for sensitive customer information. The need for efficient, secure, and rapid software delivery has never been greater.

In this webinar, we will delve into real-world case studies of major financial institutions that have conquered these challenges by adopting an AI-powered DevSecOps platform:
—See how a major US insurance and financial services company is using enterprise agile planning at scale to drive project success and measure OKRs and value delivered.
—Learn how a major US bank standardized its development process, built team consistency, and increased productivity across 1000s of developer teams through orchestration and automation.
—Discover how a European bank slashed a two-day process down to less than two hours and built an effective CI/CD pipeline with only a 10-person team.
—Understand how other leading financial institutions are leveraging predictive intelligence to accelerate their time to market, reduce incidents, and boost productivity.

Overcoming Digital Disruption: Financial Services Success Stories

Remember the time your release caused a major failure? That moment when you were trying to figure out what happened and fix it as soon as possible? It’s one of those situations you want to prevent! And it just gets more complex as you need to deploy to multiple environments like cloud, on-prem, VMs and containers.

The fact is that enterprises have yet to master the art of transparency throughout their DevOps pipeline to gain efficiency, reduce failure and recover faster.

Join our webinar, where Charitra Agrawal, Director of Product Management and John Kantirakis, Sr. Solution Engineer, will show you how to predict the unpredictable! We’ll help equip you with AI-powered predictive data that empowers you for timely deliveries and fast risk detection. It’s time to get smarter and reduce the headaches and make your DevOps “continuous.”

In this webinar you will learn how to:
* Prevent release delays by proactively understanding the release dependencies and their risks
* Predict the probability of change failure with the change credit score and give a fast pass to low-risk changes
* Remediate problems faster with data that correlates application releases with incidents and production events

Continuous Delivery on Multi-Cloud: Predicting the Unpredictable

Enterprises across industries continue to push mobile applications into their customers’ hands. Unfortunately, each of those apps contain a working example showing how to access back-office assets.

The real question is: What do we know about the security posture of those applications? Unfortunately, very little. While spend on perimeter security and SIEMs has been growing faster than inflation for years, relatively little is invested in protecting and monitoring apps that live in the wild, outside of the security perimeter.

That changed in August 2023 when we released our 2023 Application Threat Report.

Watch this webinar where we’ll reveal the highlights of the report, including:
—The odds that any mobile/web/desktop application will be attacked
—The odds of attacks on apps by industry
—The most common types of attacks
—The types of platforms that are attacked most often
—Ways to protect and monitor apps

Application Threat Report

Learn the basics of value-based delivery and how to:
* Visualize concept to customer process to determine flow of value, set strategic direction, and gain enterprise-wide transparency
* Connect disparate work streams into an optimized delivery engine focused on producing business and customer value
* Measure against KPIs, uncover risks and opportunities, and make data-driven decisions to stay the course or quickly pivot to address a market or business change

What's Trending in Scaled Agile in 2023 - Value-based Delivery

It seems some Agile & DevOps initiatives are not delivering significant “business” benefits. Many feel that IT is executing and delivering some really cool "science projects". However, customers and stakeholders either don't notice or don't care which means that your Agile and DevOps initiative isn't doing its job. Nevertheless, there is a sea change happening around “value streams” with Agile & DevOps called Value Stream Management.

Join us for an exciting webinar where we will share findings from a recent study by Forrester Research commissioned by Digital.ai on how successful software organizations are applying Value Stream Management to Agile & DevOps initiatives to create a culture of continuous delivery across the entire organization (across teams, departments, suppliers, etc.) that directly drives business outcomes enabling products to flow to customers with orders of magnitude higher velocity, quality, and security!
