It is estimated that, globally, 111 billion lines of code is produced every single year. In a rapidly digitising world, that number is only set to grow larger… along with the potential for more security issues. We are facing an uphill battle against a general AppSec skills shortage, the need for production at the speed of company innovation, and siloed teams not working to the same application security goals. With over 4 billion records stolen as a result of data breaches in 2019 alone, this has to change.


Security awareness programmes remain a powerful, yet underutilised tool to inspire organisations to stay security-focused and engage teams to do their part in the fight against vulnerable code.


At this exclusive breakfast event, you will meet a panel of experts who will reveal their own strategies for overcoming the AppSec skills shortage, retaining existing talent and instilling a security mindset within their development teams. With the right security awareness programme, you can effectively bridge the gap between the AppSec and dev cohorts, fostering a positive and collaborative culture to achieve common goals and create a better standard of software.
