Navigating the Frontier AI Era: Blueprint for Autonomous Code-to-Cloud Defense

Himanshu Kathpal, VP Product Management, Platform and Technologies, Qualys Abhishek Singh, VP of Product Management, Qualys

In the frontier AI era, cloud environments are changing faster than traditional remediation processes can keep pace. Vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, insecure code, container risks, and policy violations can emerge continuously across development and production, while manual tickets, fragmented ownership, and lengthy approval cycles allow validated risks to remain exposed.

Join Qualys cloud security experts for a thought leadership discussion on how mature security programs can evolve from manual, ticket-driven remediation toward validated, policy-based code-to-cloud risk reduction. The session will examine how security teams can determine not only what should be fixed, but where remediation should occur, which actions can be safely automated, and when human approval remains essential.

You’ll learn how organizations can connect risk validation with automated workflows, remediation verification, rollback controls, and audit evidence to safely reduce exposure at the speed cloud environments change. The discussion will also explore how AI-powered workflows, automated infrastructure-as-code and software supply chain remediation, container image patching, and automated cloud and Kubernetes control fixes are reshaping the remediation operating model.
