The craft of software engineering, and thus the organizational risk that accompanies building applications, is always evolving. From mainframes to web and mobile, waterfall to agile, monoliths to microservices, bare-metal to DevOps and cloud, the past several years have seen massive disruptions to the ways software is developed, and the security tools and processes needed to manage emerging threats have often lagged behind. We are now in the midst of another generational shift in the way applications are created; this time away from human-centered software development and toward a new world of machine-generated code, large language models, prompt engineering, and AI agents writing and managing software autonomously. This new landscape includes an entirely novel set of attack vectors that the application security practices of yesterday are not equipped to handle. Just as the methodology of DevSecOps evolved to manage the new risks of DevOps-oriented software practice, a new framework is needed to identify, prioritize, remediate and manage the new classes of vulnerabilities being introduced rapidly into AI-native applications. Join Snyk, the leader in Developer Security and AI Trust, as we…

• Review the novel risks posed by AI-native software, and why existing application security testing tools and processes are not up to the task.

• Understand how roles and responsibilities are evolving quickly, and what it means for security that building software no longer requires knowledge of writing code.

• Discuss the ideal workflows for managing software risk in an agent-centric, machine-first SDLC.

• Define the pillars and practices of AITrustOps, the security readiness framework necessary to understand and mitigate AI-native software risk.

The financial services sector remains a prime target for cybercriminals, driven by the lure of sensitive data and high-value assets. This panel will explore the unique challenges financial institutions face, from ransomware to account takeover attacks, and provide insights into strategies for mitigating these risks. Experts will share best practices for protecting critical systems, securing customer trust, and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards.

The rapid growth of FinTech has revolutionized financial services, but it has also introduced new vulnerabilities. This panel will discuss how financial institutions can integrate robust cybersecurity measures into FinTech applications to secure transactions, data, and customer experiences. Panelists will address the unique challenges of securing APIs, cloud environments, and real-time payment systems in a fast-paced, innovation-driven ecosystem.

As cyber threats targeting the financial sector grow more sophisticated, organizations must stay ahead of the curve by adopting emerging technologies and practices. This panel will explore the future of financial cybersecurity, highlighting advancements in artificial intelligence, blockchain, and threat intelligence. Panelists will also discuss the importance of cross-industry collaboration and proactive strategies to secure the financial ecosystem against future threats.
