RANT Roundtable in partnership with Smithy Security
'Shift Left, Stall Forward: Making Product Security Automation Work'
“Shift left” was supposed to help. Catch bugs earlier, reduce risk, make developers part of the fix. But in reality? We just shifted the chaos closer to the code.
Security teams are now stuck juggling half-baked workflows, noisy tools, and developers who’d rather be doing literally anything else. Automation promised consistency, but too often delivers confusion, redundant tickets, and risk that quietly slips through the cracks.
Your AppSec program starts to feel less like engineering, more like a game of broken telephone across time zones. So how do we fix it?
- How can we build workflows that resolve issues, not just raise them?
- What makes security feedback land with developers instead of being ignored or resented?
- How do we cut the noise and reconnect what’s found, what’s fixed, and what actually matters?
- And can we govern all this without owning (or blocking) every tool in the stack?
Join fellow security leaders and our sponsor Smithy for an evening of blunt RANTy conversation and sharp thinking, over dinner and drinks on Tuesday 22nd October, 17:30–21:30, at the stately five-star Merrion Hotel, Dublin.
