Embedding Agentic AI into Modern DevSecOps

Dive into how agentic AI is leveling up DevSecOps from just automation to full-on autonomy, live and in person at our panel event.

As organisations face increasing pressure to deliver software faster, more securely, and with greater resilience, traditional DevSecOps approaches are reaching their limits.

DevSecOps was designed to make security everyone’s responsibility. Yet in practice, it still depends heavily on human judgement, manual triage, and fragmented tooling. As delivery accelerates and threat landscapes evolve, this model is becoming increasingly unsustainable.

Agentic AI represents a significant shift.

Rather than simply assisting teams, agentic systems can observe, decide and act within delivery and security pipelines. They introduce the possibility of autonomous assurance, where AI moves from passive support to active participation in secure software delivery.

This event is designed for senior digital and technology leaders who want a clear, practical and critical understanding of what this shift means in reality, particularly within complex and regulated environments.

We will move beyond hype to explore where agentic AI is delivering measurable value today, where it introduces new risks, and how it can be embedded responsibly.

Who should attend?

This session is designed for senior leaders including:

👤 Chief Digital Officers
👤 Chief Technology Officers
👤 Heads of Engineering, Platform and Cloud
👤 DevSecOps and Cyber Security Leaders
👤 Digital, Data and Technology Leaders in the Public Sector, Health and other regulated industries

What is the format?

This is a panel event and will explore difficult but necessary questions:

🗣️ How much autonomy should AI be granted in critical delivery systems?
🗣️ Can compliance and audit functions keep pace with machine-speed decisions?
🗣️ What does “secure by default” mean when AI is taking action at scale?
🗣️ Do productivity gains genuinely materialise?
🗣️ What skills, governance and operating model changes are required?
🗣️ How can leaders distinguish genuine capability from vendor hype?

Panellists will share practical experience and forward-looking insight from platform engineering, cyber security, AI and public sector digital leadership perspectives.

What you will leave with

☑️ A practical understanding of how agentic AI differs from traditional automation
☑️ Clarity on governance and assurance considerations in regulated environments
☑️ A framework for thinking about human-in-the-loop design
☑️ Concrete steps to begin embedding agentic AI into your DevSecOps practices
☑️ Better questions to ask vendors claiming “autonomous” capabilities
