Abstract:
Join us for an insightful session on AI-powered application security testing hosted by GitHub and Microsoft The agenda includes presentations and demos showcasing the intersection of AI, developer productivity, and security. Don't miss this chance to discover innovative AI-driven approaches to application security and learn firsthand how GitHub is revolutionizing security practices for developers.

What is the event about?
The event kicks off with an overview of GitHub's approach to leveraging AI for developer productivity, exploring how these advancements benefit developers and enhance security practices. This sets the stage for an engaging demo focusing on Learning, Remediation, and Prevention within GitHub's AI-powered security toolkit.

Following the demo, we delve into a collaborative narrative highlighting the synergy between GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) and Azure Cloud Security. This session emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive vulnerability lifecycle management approach, especially in the context of modern container-based architectures. Topics covered include secure container deployment and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security considerations.

Later in the evening, participants will have the opportunity for a technical hands-on experience (Trailblazer session) aimed at practical implementation and exploration of GitHub's security features. This interactive session, spanning 1.5 hours, will empower attendees to apply newfound insights to their own projects.
