Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

At INCYBER Forum Canada 2025, leaders from across sectors explored AI, supply-chain risk, and culture-driven defense, stressing that true resilience is built together.

Last week, I had the honor of emceeing the AI Agent Security Summit in San Francisco, a gathering of some of the brightest minds exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, security, and human responsibility. Having moderated a panel at the first Summit in New York City earlier this year, stepping into the emcee role this time around was a different experience, but just as enjoyable. On-demand recordings of the sessions will be available soon.

CornCon 11 emphasized security basics, real-world risk alignment, and sustainable practices to help teams build resilient programs in today’s complex threat landscape.

When the day wrapped up at the Commonwealth Club, one thing was clear: we are in a moment unlike anything the security community has faced before. Hundreds of practitioners and thought leaders from around the world came together, and the turnout alone showed just how urgent and relevant this topic has become. Michael Bargury opened his keynote with a question that lingered well past the event: Are we actually making progress in securing agents?

DevOpsDays Philadelphia 2025 showed how AI governance, secrets security, runtime traces, and ablative resilience work together to reduce operational risk.

I’ve been to several Black Hat conferences (seven in the last two and a half years, alone) to be a threat hunter in the Network Operations Center (NOC), so I didn’t expect to be surprised by much at this year’s Black Hat USA.

OWASP AppSecDays France 2025 explored supply chain trust, CI/CD as the new perimeter and passkeys, showing how shared guardrails make secure delivery possible.

And that’s a wrap! Held in beautiful Napa Valley, swampUP 2025, JFrog’s annual customer conference brought together developers, operations, security, compliance, and AI/ML leaders – all facing the same burning challenges posed by the AI-driven quantum shift in software delivery. In the keynotes, breakout sessions, and side-conversations over wine and coffee, a common theme was made clear: a unified Software Supply Chain platform is essential to thrive in the new reality.
