“Insert AI here”: Where is AI actually useful in AppSec?

2026-08-25

Everyone's using AI. Or at least, everyone says they are – and if you're not, the FOMO is real. But behind the LinkedIn posts and pitches, plenty of AI-in-AppSec use cases just...don't work. The demo was great, but reality doesn’t quite match up to the promise. Or perhaps it works IF you only have 1 or 2 really specific conditions/requirements, or the expertise and time to oversee 40 agents.

Join Mehdi and Katie as they cut through the overwhelming noise of AI from all corners with what they've actually seen working. Pulling from conference hallway conversations, customer calls, and their own experiments, they’ll share how teams big and small are getting their tokens’ worth of AI.

Because teams ARE genuinely getting value from AI – but the key is to identify which tasks AI is actually good at, which models people are reaching for and when, and which harnesses and workflows make the difference between a party trick and a production tool.

We’ll share some of our lessons from the front line: what's working, what isn't, and how to tell the difference before you've burned weeks of time and your budget finding out.

Sign up for the session now. See you there!
