Women in DevSecOps: Leveraging AI in the Software Delivery Lifecycle

AI has moved past the “experimental” phase and is now a core architect of the modern Software Development Life Cycle. But as we integrate AI-driven IDEs and automated pipelines, a new set of challenges has emerged: How do we secure the artifacts fueling these models? And how do we ensure that AI reduces developer “toil” rather than just adding more noise to the system?

In celebration of International Women’s Month and the 2026 theme #GiveToGain, join us for a high-impact fireside chat featuring trailblazing women leaders from Invesco, Vanguard, and JFrog. This year’s theme reminds us that when we give, whether through mentorship, sharing technical knowledge, or advocating for secure standards, we gain a stronger, more resilient community for everyone.

What We’ll Explore:

• The AI-Ready Supply Chain: Why artifact management is the “non-negotiable” foundation for secure AI integration and how to govern the data fueling your models.
• Solving the Productivity Paradox: Moving past “DevEx” as a concept to practical ways AI can eliminate burnout and return “joy” to a developer’s Tuesday afternoon.
• The Power of Consolidation: How reducing tool sprawl creates a “single pane of glass” that improves security posture and slashes technical debt.
• Data-Driven Leadership: Identifying the metrics (velocity, stability, and security) that actually move the needle when reporting to the C-Suite.
• #GiveToGain—Refactoring Culture: A candid look at the “technical debt” in our industry’s culture and how we can use mentorship and automation to create more equitable pathways for women in DevOps.

Whether you are an AppSec specialist, a DevOps engineer, or a technical leader, this session will provide you with a roadmap for navigating the intersection of AI, security, and the human-centric philosophy of #GiveToGain.
