DevSecOps, while heavily marketed, is consistently overlooked in practice. The concept of “shift left” is obvious, but due to conflicting priorities between the Dev and Sec teams, it’s difficult to implement.

Overly restrictive security slows development, while overly lenient measures put organizations at risk.

Join Sarit Tager, VP, Product Management, Palo Alto Networks, to learn how a holistic approach to AppSec can help teams remove barriers and seamlessly integrate security guardrails into DevOps pipelines.

What you will learn:
- Why context from the entire ecosystem can help organizations prioritize issues in code.
- How to implement security that doesn’t interfere with innovation.
- The value of changing your mindset from “shift left” to “start left”.

Opening the Fast Lane for Secure Deployments

The ever-changing nature of your cloud environment makes it challenging for your security team to keep up. Additionally, responsibility for cloud security is often shared among multiple teams, which can add complexity and slow incident investigation and triage. 

Register now to learn how automation can lighten your team's workload. We'll focus on key use cases that address cloud security incident response. These include:
- Tracking and identifying malicious IoCs and automatically pushing them to your EDLs.
- Prioritizing noisy virtual machine alerts.
- Automating routing and follow-up of incidents to different teams in addition to the malware and investigation process.

We'll also show you how to automate your manual workflows and speed up incident response across your cloud security operations.

SOAR Across Your Cloud

The core applications powering your business have changed, in which sometimes 14 months elapsed between software releases. Today, 77% of organizations deploy new code weekly, necessitating a fundamental shift in application security methods.

Current approaches offer limited visibility into dispersed development processes, unused security enforcement for fear of slowing down dev cycles, and a general lack of ownership, creating friction between developers and security pros.

Amir Kaushansky, Director of Product Management at Palo Alto Networks and 20-year cybersecurity industry veteran, joins James Azar to examine how application security posture management (ASPM) more effectively manages app risks throughout the software and app development lifecycle.
 
Watch the session to: 
- Discover how traditional AppSec tools lack the context needed to address complex, fast-evolving threats—and why ASPM is poised to fill this void.
- Learn how connecting runtime data with code insights powers advanced risk prioritization and real-time remediation strategies.
- Explore how a proactive “shift-left” approach fueled by ASPM can dramatically reduce downstream patching and costly retrofits.

The Future of App Security Posture Management: Boom or Bust?
