Application security in the age of AI with Farshad Abasi
Join us for this session of Defender Fridays as we explore application security in the age of AI with Farshad Abasi, CEO and Co-founder at Eureka DevSecOps.
At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.
What We'll Discuss
In this episode, Farshad Abasi shares his journey from building software in the late 90s to leading application security at HSBC and founding Eureka DevSecOps. With decades of experience spanning waterfall, Agile, DevOps, and now AI-driven development, Farshad explains why traditional pentesting approaches fall short for modern applications and how AI is reshaping both the challenges and solutions in AppSec.
Key Topics:
- Why pentesting doesn't find real security issues in custom software
- The shift from vulnerability severity to risk-based assessment
- How AI tools are enabling contextual analysis and threat modeling at scale
- Static vs dynamic analysis in the age of AI
- The evolution from ASOC to ASPM and the move toward posture management
- Why AppSec needs more ex-software engineers
