Securing the Software Supply Chain in the AI Era
Yashaswi Mudumbai - Senior Director - Solution Engineering - Jfrog
AI is rewriting how software is built, and how it can be broken. From AI-generated code to a surge in malicious open-source packages, the modern supply chain has expanded faster than most security strategies can keep up. In this session, JFrog explores what it takes to establish trust across every binary, model, and artifact moving through your pipelines, without slowing innovation.

AppSec Rewritten: Securing Software in the AI Era
Bhawani Singh - Regional Solutions Engineering Director – APAC, Middle East & Africa - Checkmarx
AI is rewriting how software is built. Development is accelerating, AI is becoming embedded throughout the software lifecycle, and increasingly autonomous tools and agents are changing the speed and scale at which software can be created and shipped.
For security leaders, the challenge is bigger than simply securing AI-generated code. As development accelerates, so does the volume and complexity of risk. Traditional AppSec approaches built around scanning later in the development cycle can struggle to keep pace - and finding more vulnerabilities doesn't necessarily mean being more secure. The real challenge is knowing what matters, preventing risk earlier, and enabling teams to fix issues without slowing development.
This session explores how Checkmarx is rewriting AppSec for the AI era - starting security at the point where code is created. From helping developers secure code as it is written, to protecting the software supply chain and using AI to intelligently validate, prioritise and remediate risk, security becomes part of the development process from the very beginning.
Discover how Checkmarx is enabling organisations to keep pace with a new era of software development — giving developers the security they need as they build, while giving security leaders the visibility, intelligence and governance they need to manage risk at scale.

Balancing Innovation and Security with AI-Driven Development
Kelvin Lim - Head of Sales Engineering (APAC) - Black Duck
AI is reshaping software development by boosting productivity and accelerating delivery, but it also introduces new security, quality, and governance challenges through AI-generated code, open source usage, and modern DevOps practices. This session explores how organisations can securely adopt AI-assisted development by integrating application security into developer workflows and aligning AppSec programs with evolving development practices. It also highlights how Black Duck Agentic AI AppSec helps teams reduce alert fatigue, prioritise exploitable risks, and provide actionable, AI-driven remediation guidance, enabling organisations to balance speed, innovation, and security while building more resilient software without slowing developer productivity.
