The Next Evolution of Application Security: AI-Accelerated DevSecOps

Technology revolutions happen quickly and often before their security implications are fully understood. DevOps transformed software development but required a new security paradigm, DevSecOps, to keep pace with the velocity of code production. Most organizations have now achieved a mature DevSecOps practice, but technology never stands still. The next revolution in software development is here, driven by AI and machine-generated code as critical drivers of speed and efficiency. This session, led by Clinton Herget, Field CTO at Snyk, explores why DevSecOps remains essential yet must evolve into AI-Accelerated DevSecOps to meet the demands of modern development. Attendees will learn how organizations are using AI to ensure security keeps pace with high-velocity practices such as “vibe coding,” while maintaining trust, accuracy, and collaboration across teams. Clinton will also outline how AI-powered tools enhance CI/CD pipelines, how to embed AI security into developer workflows, and the key steps needed to adopt a model that improves visibility and strengthens a security-first mindset. Key Takeaways: – Understand how AI-Accelerated DevSecOps transforms traditional security practices for the AI era – Learn how to embed AI-powered security into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines – Discover how to balance speed, visibility, and trust while maintaining secure, collaborative development environments
