Application Security

The friction between "shift-left" security and aggressive development sprints is a pain point every engineering leader knows intimately. 

Relying solely on automated scanners often fills backlogs with false positives, straining relations with development squads.

This section bypasses theoretical AppSec models to look at how security teams are establishing practical guardrails within continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines. Peers discuss how they integrate threat modelling early, embed contextual scanning into natural developer workflows, manage software supply chain risks (including open-source dependencies), and secure containerised microservices against API vulnerabilities without halting deployment velocity.
