APISEC CON When Code Comes Alive, Paddy Gonzalez

Catch this APISEC|CON session with Paddy Gonzalez and learn how to move bneyond shift left to defend APIs with polymorphic software. Static APIs can’t survive dynamic threats. In this eye-opening talk, software security leader Paul “Patty” Drake-Gonzalez challenges conventional AppSec wisdom with a bold new paradigm: Polymorphic Software, adaptive, self-evolving systems that can fight back. Key topics covered: Why “Shift Left” isn't enough in the era of AI-accelerated cybercrime How polymorphic software mimics biology to build self-defending APIs Why AI-powered attackers are outpacing patch culture Rethinking WAFs, runtime behavior, and decentralized trust models A call to engineers, security leaders, and innovators: design APIs that don’t expose the same attack surface twice If you’re tired of patching on Friday night and praying nothing breaks, this talk is your wake-up call. It's time to break free from brittle pipelines and start building resilient, adaptive systems, before the attackers evolve faster than we do. This is future-state AppSec. And the future is now. #APIsecurity #DevSecOps #AppSec #PolymorphicSoftware #CyberResilience #PenTesting #CISO #AIthreats #ZeroTrust #APISecCon #RuntimeSecurity #PrivateAI
