The Modern Application Security Roundtable Luncheon
Join Us for an Exclusive Executive Luncheon & Discussion
Governing Application Security in the Age of AI: From Compliance to Continuous Control
Security and technology leaders in Melbourne are warmly invited to join The Ortus Club and Checkmarx for an exclusive roundtable luncheon. Over great food and in the company of peers, you'll take part in a closed, confidential discussion on one of the most pressing challenges facing modern enterprises: how to govern application security as AI reshapes the way software is built. An expert moderator will guide the conversation, drawing out insights and sparking meaningful exchange between participants. Attendance is complimentary and by invitation only.
The Topic
Governing Application Security in the Age of AI: From Compliance to Continuous Control
As AI accelerates software delivery, organisations face growing pressure to maintain control across increasingly complex application environments and expanding attack surfaces. Security leaders must move beyond fragmented, tool-driven approaches to establish governance frameworks that deliver visibility, accountability, and assurance across the full software lifecycle — while managing emerging risks from AI-generated code, third-party components, and software supply chains.
Achieving this shift requires collaboration across security, development, and executive leadership to align governance with business priorities, regulatory expectations, and board-level accountability. Organisations that transition from reactive vulnerability management toward continuous, risk-based control will be better positioned to enable innovation, demonstrate resilience, and sustain trust in an era where application security is central to business performance.
Over lunch, the group will explore questions such as:
What are the biggest governance gaps organisations face when securing AI-accelerated development environments, particularly across AI-generated code and software supply chains?
How can organisations operationalise continuous, risk-based application security governance across the software lifecycle while aligning security, development, and business leadership?
What will effective application security governance look like in an AI-driven enterprise, and how will roles, accountability, and control mechanisms evolve over the next 3–5 years?
