April 2026 - Build, Buy, or Prompt?
A private dinner for security leaders defining AppSec in the Agentic Era
Join Amir Kavousian and Nick Reva, along with small group of security leaders from the companies actually building and shipping AI-native products at scale, for an evening of candid conversation, great food, and zero pitch.
The conversation
Everyone is now a builder. Engineers that have never written a line of Swift are building and shipping Passkey support in 2 months, GRC folks are building OKR tools having never seen an IDE in their life, Directors and CISOs are putting up PRs at $100B market cap companies. This is the reality of April 2026.
Agentic coding tools have rewritten the rules. The build vs. buy decision is collapsing for certain categories. Claude Skills are replacing entire vendors with little tradeoff. Security Engineering and Vendor roles are being redefined in real time.
How does AppSec keep pace when everyone is a builder and your harnessed agent "headcount" is 4-6x your actual headcount. And Team PCP is coming after your supply chain with four compromises in 30 days.
AppSec needs a fundamentally different operating model when the developer is an AI, code velocity is already 4-6x in tier 1 companies and the likes of Team PCP is relentless.
We'll talk about what's working, what's breaking, how to guardrail and what comes next.
The room
This is an intentionally small gathering of Security and Engineering leaders from some of the most AI-forward companies in the world. Period. Expect honest, off-the-record dialogue. No pitches or BS.
This dinner is held under the Chatham House Rule.
