As application development accelerates and AI transforms the threat landscape, organizations must rethink how security is built and scaled. This session explores a developer-first approach to application security - one that embeds protection directly into the software life cycle. From secrets scanning and automated remediation to trust-by-design architecture, the session highlights how aligning tools, teams and workflows can drive faster, smarter and more secure development at scale.

In this insightful discussion, Anja Loether, senior application security expert at GitHub, will discuss:

• How to integrate security seamlessly into developer workflows to reduce friction, increase fix rates and eliminate context switching;
• Why secret scanning and push protection are essential to preventing credential leaks before they occur;
• How automation, low false positives and campaign-driven remediation can improve developer experience while strengthening security posture.
