API World + CloudX + Dev Innovation Summit 2024

Mike Milner, Trend Micro, VP Cloud Technology

As cloud native environments become more secure, attackers are shifting their focus to infiltrate the software supply chain. Securing the software supply chain starts at the beginning of the development process and continues throughout the application’s development lifecycle, but the complexity means that it is easy to miss links in this chain.

This session will construct a threat model that includes everything from the developer work stations, the code and open source libraries that make up an application, to the entire pipeline of building and deploying an app and the teams that maintain it.

Attendees of this session will:
• Understand the steps needed to manage and ensure the security of a broader software supply chain considering quickly evolving tech innovations.
• Learn how to determine the best tools for tracking the software development lifecycle in cloud-native settings.
• Discover how new generative AI tools can help automate some of the monotonous tasks such as fixing or updating older or broken code.
