This talk will focus on Domain 8: Software Development Security

About the Speaker

Gonzalo De La Torre Parra - CEO of Safe AI LLC.

Will be covering the following:

An in-depth look at why entry-level developers struggle with secure coding and how Explainable AI (XAI) is poised to revolutionize the Application Security landscape.

Key Takeaways

1. Developer Skill Gap = Quantifiable Risk

2. Current Security Tools Fall Short

3. Root Cause Matters

4. AI: A Double-Edged Sword

5. Future of AppSec = Explainable AI (XAI)

Abstract

This presentation tackles one of the most persistent challenges in our industry: securing the software development lifecycle in an era of rapid development and a constant influx of new talent. We will explore recent empirical research that reveals why even the most advanced Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools are failing to prevent vulnerabilities from making it into production. The data shows that developers, especially those early in their careers, struggle not with identifying that a vulnerability exists, but with understanding why it exists and how to remediate it effectively.

Gonzalo De La Torre Parra, CEO of Safe AI LLC, will unpack this critical "explanatory deficit" in modern AppSec and introduce a new paradigm based on Explainable AI (XAI). This session moves beyond theory to demonstrate how AI-driven root-cause analysis can be integrated directly into the development workflow. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how this approach transforms security tools from simple scanners into active mentors, significantly improving remediation success rates and fostering a more resilient security posture. This is a must-see for any leader focused on shifting security left and building a truly secure software development culture.
