As development cycles accelerate and AI becomes integral to coding, the software supply chain is now a prime attack surface. Research shows that while 95% of organizations use AI tools, only 24% fully evaluate AI-generated code for security, IP, and quality risks. Meanwhile, regulations and frameworks like NIST SSDF, ISO/IEC 27001, and the EU CRA are reshaping expectations. Do these compliance requirements form hurdles that impede pipelines? Are existing AppSec resources ill-equipped for evolving supply chain risks?

**In this webinar, we’ll cover:**

- How AI and open source AI models complicate the software supply chain.
- Practical steps to automate CI/CD pipelines, validate SBOMs, and govern AI usage.
- Key insights from 540 security leaders on practices that improve efficiency and security resilience.
