💻 OS in Finance Webinar: How Frontier AI Changes Tolerable Risk - Chainguard
October 14 | Virtual
Frontier AI models can now surface dormant vulnerabilities and chain weaknesses across the software supply chain faster than traditional security processes can investigate and patch them. Join FINOS Gold Member Chainguard and their Field CISO, John Sapp, to explore how financial institutions can rethink open source governance as risks accelerate. This session will cover why vulnerability exploitation has overtaken phishing as a leading FinServ attack vector and how to build stronger software integrity into your lifecycle without disrupting business-critical systems.
