Decrease secret leaks with GitHub Advanced Security secret scanning

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (UTC)

In this demo with Courtney Claessens, senior product manager at GitHub, you’ll discover how to help keep secrets secure, regardless of their structure. Learn how you can scan for almost 300 token types from over 100 service providers, enabling the detection of potential leaked secrets at scale and decreasing the chance secrets are leaked in the first place. You’ll also experience the power of AI in detecting generic secrets, such as passwords, and in creating custom patterns to help protect your organization’s confidential information.

Investigating code security with Copilot

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

In this talk we provide a brief walk-through using Copilot to aid in detecting and fixing security vulnerabilities in source code. Topics covered include: A basic introduction to improving SDLC security using IDE and local environment tools Detecting OWASP Top 10 style vulnerabilities in an example application Remediating detected issues Creating .gitignore files to prevent environment files being committed Looking at how GHAS can be combined with Copilot to improve security further.

Automated Governance: Making the Right Thing the Easy Thing

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

Developers deserve the chance to do the right thing. Leadership doesn’t always make it so easy. But in the face of mounting regulations and an ever-changing landscape of application security risks, the opportunity to turn obstacles into opportunities has never been more evident. This week’s guests are industry leaders in the field of software governance. Caleb Queern is the Managing Director of Cybersecurity at KPMG. Michael Edenzon is the Co-Founder and CEO of Fianu, and previously served as the Director of DevOps at PNC Bank. In 2022, Michael and Caleb co-authored the business novel Investments Unlimited, a fictional story about a bank’s journey toward automated governance. What began in 2019 as an industry-led whitepaper has become a movement encompassing AppSec, DevOps, and software supply chain security. At the heart of this movement are platforms like GitHub Advanced Security and Fianu. Caleb and Michael will tell the story of automated governance, the successes and pitfalls of large enterprises that aim to implement it, and how the principles of flow, fast feedback, and continuous improvement can be preserved so that you and your organization can thrive amidst an ever-growing landscape of rules and regulations.

Application Security Where Developers Live - GitHub and Endor Labs

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

Developers invest a lot of time and effort into their code, making sure it safely delivers innovation and value to users. Unfortunately, a lot of that effort is wasted investigating security findings that ultimately represent no risk to the application. With the GitHub Advanced Security integration, Endor Labs enables development teams to establish efficient, automated processes to deliver software while eliminating 80% of the security noise that wastes developer time.

Scaling AppSec in the world of AI generated code - GitHub and Endor Labs

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

Find vulnerabilities earlier, ship software faster. These are the good intentions behind the drive to shift application security workflows from security teams to developers: a “shift left” move in the software development lifecycle. But does it really work? Hear from leading experts on how AI can help automate security work and make it more developer-centric, topics will include: Secure open source and LLM selection Prioritize risk based on what is reachable and exploitable Remediate at scale without context switching

How GenAI is making Application Security harder... and easier!

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

Description: The rapid adoption of frameworks, DevOps, CI/CD, and agile processes has increased the velocity at which development teams can iterate and deliver, outpacing security teams' ability to address issues. The introduction of GenAI has exacerbated this problem by further increasing delivery velocity and requiring more APIs to interact with AI. In this session, Scott Gerlach will discuss how to ensure your code is protected in a GenAI-driven software development environment.

Accelerating Innovation: Improving Application Security in the Age of AI

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

As AI has taken the world by storm, we are seeing tremendous productivity gains and increased development speed across the public sector. However, while GitHub Copilot is a fantastic productivity tool and can help write secure code more efficiently, it is not a replacement for proper code review and application security practices. GitHub disrupted the industry by bringing our industry leading application security capabilities to the GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Today, we deliver application scanning, secret scanning, and software supply chain security and allow developers to find and fix vulnerabilities as they code, removing the need for context switching and helping to reduce noise with our high true positive rate. Additionally, with the introduction of GitHub Copilot, we've taken this a giant step further by releasing auto-remediation capabilities. "Found means fixed". Join us for this highly interactive discussion where we'll be diving into GitHub Advanced Security, addressing frequently asked questions around everything from feature functionality, security, roadmap and providing resources so that you can get started today!
