Automating Secure Guardrails: Leveraging SAST and Other Tools for Effective Implementation

Get ready for a light-hearted fireside chat with the Semgrep team! We'll be discussing the cutting-edge topic of Automating Secure Guardrails with Alexandra Peleg, Joe Nicastro, Heather Hinton, Laura Bell Main, Abhisek Datta, and hosted by Tanya Janca, head of community. In this casual yet informative chat, our experts will provide insights into how SAST tools can help automate the best practices you want your teams to follow, and get them back onto paved roads if they accidentally veer off course. We'll explore the benefits and challenges of creating guardrails, getting developers on board with the idea, and which types of guardrails might offer the most benefit. Join us on this exciting journey and learn how to take your secure development practices to the next level with the pioneers in the field.

Here are some questions we'll explore during the chat:

1. How do SAST and other tools fit into the development process in automating secure guardrails implementation?

2. What are some common challenges organizations face when implementing automated secure guardrails?

3. How can organizations balance the need for speed and agility with the requirements for security?
