Is AI making application security easier or harder? We spoke to Amit Chita, Field CTO at Mend.io, the rise of AI agents in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) presents a unique opportunity for security teams to be stricter than ever before. As developers increasingly use AI agents and integrate LLMs into applications, the attack surface is evolving in ways traditional security can't handle. The only way forward is a Zero Trust approach to your own AI models. Join Ashish Rajan and Amit Chita as they discuss the new threats introduced by AI and how to build a resilient security program for this new era.

What does it take to secure AI-based applications in the cloud? In this episode, host Ashish Rajan sits down with Bar-el Tayouri, Head of Mend AI at Mend.io, to dive deep into the evolving world of AI security. From uncovering the hidden dangers of shadow AI to understanding the layers of an AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM), Bar-el breaks down the complexities of securing AI-driven systems. Learn about the risks of malicious models, the importance of red teaming, and how to balance innovation with security in a dynamic AI landscape. What is an AIBOM and why it matters The stages of AI adoption.

Responding to threats often requires time-consuming, multi-step actions across multiple tools, slowing down investigations and increasing risk. Learn how security teams can automate a wide range of workflows, from everyday tasks to complex, multi-step investigations, so they can streamline response and reduce manual effort across tools and environments. In this demo, see how Datadog’s integrated SOAR, powered by Workflow Automation, helps you build, test, and manage automated security playbooks with confidence.

Vulnerability detection isn’t the main problem - remediation is. In today’s fast-paced development world, security teams are overwhelmed with alerts, while developers struggle to keep up with security tasks that feel disconnected from their workflow. The real risk? Vulnerabilities that sit unaddressed in a growing backlog. Join Daniel Wyrzykowski, Product Manager at Mend.io and Saoirse Hinksmon, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Mend.io as they explore.

In this video from Black Hat 2025, A10 Networks security expert Jamiso Utter explains the critical need to "futurize our defenses." He argues that many current cybersecurity solutions, such as firewalls and Regex, are built on decades-old technology, making them ill-equipped to handle today's emerging threats. Jamison highlights the problem with buying from companies whose "bottom line is more important than your bottom line," leading to a fragmented "best-of-breed" approach that ultimately adds complexity to a network.
