Cyber resilience in today’s critical infrastructure and digital ecosystems demands more than traditional perimeter defenses—it requires engineering discipline and continuous automation. This session bridges research and practice, showing how modern application security programs leveraging automated code scanning, container security, and self-healing workflows can sustain operations even under attack.

Drawing on real-world case studies from finance and healthcare, the talk highlights practical ways organizations can integrate automated security checks and continuous resilience testing into their environments. After attending this session, participants will:

Understand how automation techniques in application security (code scanning, container hardening, automated workflows) contribute directly to building cyber resilience within a financial or healthcare environment.

Recognize key metrics and indicators for operational continuity and incident-readiness, and learn how real-time pipeline data can enhance resilience monitoring.

Identify practical steps for correlating automated security outputs to organizational risk goals and regulatory expectations, drawing from case studies relevant to both the public and private sectors.
