TO RSVP PLEASE GO HERE
Join us for the May 28th, 2025 In-Person Meetup. We'll be discussing updates to the chapter, cover upcoming events to attend, and have a special presentation from Jon Zeolla - Founder of Seiso and Zenable.
In Jon's talk, he'll share how you can use Policy as Code to get your arms around AI generated code.
Topic Abstract: AI code moves fast—and breaks things. It looks clean but hides bugs. As a security lead, that’s a nightmare. But Jon still loves AI. This talk shows how Policy as Code can turn that chaos into control—scaling quality without slowing teams down.
NOTE: Presentation starts at 6PM EST. Please be there on-time if you don't want to miss any of the action!
