Why Security Can Be Stricter: A Zero Trust Approach to AppSec with AI

Why Security Can Be Stricter: A Zero Trust Approach to AppSec with AI

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.
