Finally, the intelligence, agility, and security you need to create innovative digital experiences customers trust.

As digital transformation sweeps across the Financial Services industry, enterprises are grappling with increasing challenges – from maintaining stellar customer service amid growing user bases to ensuring ironclad security for sensitive customer information. The need for efficient, secure, and rapid software delivery has never been greater.

In this webinar, we will delve into real-world case studies of major financial institutions that have conquered these challenges by adopting an AI-powered DevSecOps platform.

—See how a major US insurance and financial services company is using enterprise agile planning at scale to drive project success and measure OKRs and value delivered.
—Learn how a major US bank standardized its development process, built team consistency, and increased productivity across 1000s of developer teams through orchestration and automation.
—Discover how a European bank slashed a two-day process down to less than two hours and built an effective CI/CD pipeline with only a 10-person team.
—Understand how other leading financial institutions are leveraging predictive intelligence to accelerate their time to market, reduce incidents, and boost productivity.

Overcoming Digital Disruption: Financial Services Success Stories

Enterprises across industries continue to push mobile applications into their customers’ hands. Unfortunately, each of those apps contain a working example showing how to access back-office assets.

The real question is: What do we know about the security posture of those applications? Unfortunately, very little. While spend on perimeter security and SIEMs has been growing faster than inflation for years, relatively little is invested in protecting and monitoring apps that live in the wild, outside of the security perimeter.

That changed in August 2023 when we released our 2023 Application Threat Report.

Watch this webinar where we’ll reveal the highlights of the report, including:
—The odds that any mobile/web/desktop application will be attacked
—The odds of attacks on apps by industry
—The most common types of attacks
—The types of platforms that are attacked most often
—Ways to protect and monitor apps

Learn the basics of value-based delivery and how to:
* Visualize concept to customer process to determine flow of value, set strategic direction, and gain enterprise-wide transparency
* Connect disparate work streams into an optimized delivery engine focused on producing business and customer value
* Measure against KPIs, uncover risks and opportunities, and make data-driven decisions to stay the course or quickly pivot to address a market or business change

What's Trending in Scaled Agile in 2023 - Value-based Delivery

AI-powered DevSecOps for the enterprise is not just another trendy term; it is the catalyst for scaling and accelerating innovation across the enterprise. Learn about the 3 pillars of enterprise AI in this interview with Derek Holt, CEO of Digital.ai, by Alan Shimel of TechStrong TV.

AI-Powered DevSecOps for the Enterprise

Efficient Agile and DevOps Practices have made mobile, web, and desktop apps from Financial Services companies more ubiquitous than ever. While these efficiencies greatly enhance the customer experience, they also present an enticing attack surface to threat actors.

Join us for an ethical hacking seminar where you’ll learn:

-Why threat actors specifically target financial services applications
-The top tactics, techniques, and practices threat actors will use in 2023 and beyond
-How DevSecOps defense-in-depth protects your apps and organization from attacks
-The benefits of obfuscation, anti-tamper, and RASP (Runtime App Self-Protection)

Ethical Hacking: The Future of Attacks on Financial Services

Remember the time your release caused a major failure? That moment when you were trying to figure out what happened and fix it as soon as possible? It’s one of those situations you want to prevent! And it just gets more complex as you need to deploy to multiple environments like cloud, on-prem, VMs and containers.

The fact is that enterprises have yet to master the art of transparency throughout their DevOps pipeline to gain efficiency, reduce failure and recover faster.

Join our webinar, where Charitra Agrawal, Director of Product Management and John Kantirakis, Sr. Solution Engineer, will show you how to predict the unpredictable! We’ll help equip you with AI-powered predictive data that empowers you for timely deliveries and fast risk detection. It’s time to get smarter and reduce the headaches and make your DevOps “continuous.”

In this webinar you will learn how to:
* Prevent release delays by proactively understanding the release dependencies and their risks
* Predict the probability of change failure with the change credit score and give a fast pass to low-risk changes
* Remediate problems faster with data that correlates application releases with incidents and production events

Continuous Delivery on Multi-Cloud: Predicting the Unpredictable

Did you know that 55% of apps were run in unsafe environments or with modified code? Don’t let your application become another statistic!

The DevSecOps model seeks to unite security and DevOps with the shared goal of rapid and secure software delivery. A powerful aspect of this approach is Application Hardening – the innovative practice of obfuscating code, monitoring apps in the wild, and giving apps the ability to react to attacks.

Watch our Digital.ai webinar with guest speaker Katie Norton, IDC Senior Research Analyst renowned for her expertise in DevSecOps, to discover the secrets of securing your applications in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape. Katie will also discuss how to:

-Improve security posture with build-time application hardening without burdening developers
-Gain visibility into potential attacks through tampering protections
-Empower applications to automatically react to attacks with Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)
-Integrate app hardening with DevOps processes

Application Hardening as Part of a Holistic DevSecOps Strategy

Congratulations on the new release! And you released it on time? Good for you! Was it aligned to business objectives or customer needs? If the answer is “I don’t know,” then it’s time to start thinking about modernizing and scaling your release initiatives.

There’s no reason why you need to wait until a release is dropped to know if it’s meaningful and if quality and value were delivered. Your problem is that you’re blind to what’s happening during the CI/CD process, making you unsure if technical teams are working toward delivering quality and value at release, or just delivering “lots of stuff” on a deadline. Releases don’t matter if they don’t add value.

In this webinar, we will show you how to:
* Ensure high-value tasks are being prioritized and worked on for this release and future releases
* Get real-time feedback from your DevOps toolchain to pinpoint problems that could delay a release
* Know you’re doing the right thing at the right time, all the time

Getting into the Flow: Finding Out if you Released the Right Things

Did a feature fail to make it into production and throw a curveball to a critical business initiative? How do you deal with that?

To avoid unexpected curveballs, it’s essential to have the right data at hand, so you can predict areas of risk in your application development and take the right actions to ensure your promises are delivered.

Come uncover the path to become more confident about application delivery! By learning how to utilize Flow Metrics, you can reduce losses, boost productivity and gain insight into timely deliverables. Join us for an opportunity that promises efficiency gains guaranteed – less frustration included.

What you will get from this workshop:
* Working session to pinpoint your key challenges for agile development
* Exploring which Flow Metrics can help you to solve your challenges
* See a demo of the Digital.ai Predictive Intelligence Flow Acceleration Metrics
* Get advice on implementation strategies tailored to your organization’s needs

Flow Metrics: What Metrics to Consider and Implementation Tips

Over 3,000 Agile community members shared their experiences over the past year to bring to you the 16th State of Agile Survey results. But what does it all mean and how does it impact the future of people, process, and tools?

Join Joyce Tompsett, Director, Analyst & Public Relations, at Digital.ai and Marc Danziger, Senior Director, Agile Delivery at Eliassen Group as they break it all down and walk through:

* The survey findings, trends and what they mean to the Agile community
* Key best practices and areas of improvement in scaling agile for digital transformation
* What type of metrics Agile teams are adopting to better align to business needs and objectives

The 16th State of Agile Report & the Rise of Business Metrics

Application Developers are increasing taking the “DevSecOps” ethos to heart. They are realizing that security is not just something that gets bolted onto apps or around networks. Instead, security needs to be built into the applications that they create. While many have turned to SAST solutions to identify vulnerabilities such as Log4Shell in Log4J, others rightfully wonder how to protect the code that they write themselves, code that – by definition – contains working examples of how to penetrate the security perimeter that their InfoSec colleagues have put in place.

This webinar shows:

* How threat actors reverse engineer applications
* How a “Protection Blueprint” secures applications
* What unobfuscated and disassembled machine code looks like to a threat actor
* How obfuscated machine code makes the threat actor’s job more difficult
* What anti-tamper measures do to prevent reverse engineering of applications

How to Build a Blueprint for Secure Software

You know protecting your apps is critical. How can you take it to the next level? Hear straight from our security experts! Join us for an interactive session where we will cover:

- Benefits of Obfuscation/Anti-Tamper/RASP (Runtime App Self-Protection)
- Best practices of Implementation of Guards
- Environmental guards
- Dynamic instrumentation toolkit
- Actual code manipulation
- Benefits of layering
- Benefits of changing guards release to release
- Demonstration of App Aware
