As organizations increasingly adopt generative AI and cloud-native technologies, security teams face mounting challenges in protecting expanding attack surfaces while maintaining application performance. Despite the benefits of generative AI, such as accelerated development and increased productivity, concerns around data leakage and intellectual property misuse persist, with only a minority of organizations having policies in place to govern AI use. At the RSA conference, experts are set to explore how AI and security are intertwined with observability, impacting application security, vulnerability management, and threat detection. The convergence of observability and security data offers a promising solution to address these challenges by providing DevSecOps teams with comprehensive visibility into application security issues, facilitating real-time responses. As compliance requirements evolve, organizations are increasingly reliant on automation to manage risks and maintain regulatory compliance in complex multicloud and hybrid cloud environments, with a focus on understanding and mitigating an expansive attack surface.
