OWASP Nashville Chapter

Artificial intelligence is introducing new attack surfaces, new machine identities, and new autonomous actors into modern environments. But the bigger story may not be AI itself. As attackers increasingly move across identities, applications, APIs, infrastructure, and data, traditional security boundaries are beginning to blur. This session explores why many of these interactions ultimately converge at runtime, why Layer 7 has become a critical source of security signal, and why runtime is emerging as the control plane for modern security. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for understanding AI-driven risk, runtime visibility, and the architectural shifts shaping the next generation of security platforms.
