Securing Web Applications at AI Speed: Closing the Readiness Gap

AI is accelerating how web applications operate while creating new avenues for security threats. Unfortunately, readiness isn’t keeping up. In the past year, 53% of organizations suffered a web app or API breach, and 80% failed to detect it within the first few hours. This session presents original research from over 800 security professionals, conducted by Cybersecurity Insiders in partnership with Fortinet, and examines what’s breaking in application security, what leading organizations are doing differently, and why the order of response matters as much as the response itself. In this session, you will learn: – How your peers are when dealing with AI-driven attacks, and what it reveals about where real exposure sits – When do perimeter-focused defenses fall short – Why do organizations find solution consolidation the best practice – How to close the AI readiness gap by prioritizing visibility, enforcement, and AI deployment in the right order – How to bring in AI capabilities into web applications in a secured, controlled fashion Designed for security leaders and practitioners responsible for defending modern web applications and APIs under increasing AI-driven pressure.
