The End of Human-Scale AppSec
The End of Human-Scale AppSec
For decades, application security has been built around a simple assumption: humans are the primary producers of software. We train developers, review their pull requests, model threats in design meetings, and build controls around human decision-making. That assumption is rapidly breaking down. As AI coding assistants evolve into autonomous software agents, organizations will gain access to an effectively unlimited engineering workforce capable of producing software at a speed no human team can match. The pressure to adopt these systems will be driven not by curiosity, but by competition. Companies that successfully harness agentic development will ship faster, iterate faster, and potentially outpace those that do not. This shift forces a fundamental rethinking of application security. The future of AppSec is not securing developers—it is governing an agentic workforce. Threat modeling, code review, security testing, and change management will not disappear, but they will need to operate at machine speed and increasingly be performed by systems rather than people. In this talk, Ken Johnson, CTO of DryRun Security, explores what the next decade of application security may look like, the assumptions that will no longer hold, and why security professionals must understand these systems deeply if they hope to influence the future rather than react to it.

The PRJC Father's Day Concert - The Seth Kibel Quintet featuring Flo Anito
The PRJC Father's Day Concert - The Seth Kibel Quintet featuring Flo Anito
A varied program of jazz, swing, and some klezmer for good measure. Expect lots of trad favorites and bring your dancing shoes! The Seth Kibel Quintet, featuring Flo Anito is a PRJC favorite. Seth charms our audiences with his deft combination of early jazz, swing, klezmer and a break-apart clarinet. Expect lots of trad favorites, a few rarities, as well witty, insightful, and partially-accurate historical commentary from Seth (not to mention a lot of laughs). You'll hear plenty of good music suitable for dancing, listening, drinking, and heckling, including quite a few from Seth's most recent album on Azalea City Recordings, "Clown With A Stick," released in May 2023. Seth Kibel is one of the Mid-Atlantic's premier woodwind specialists, working with some of the best bands in jazz, swing, and more. He’s the winner of 28 Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies), including "Best World Music Instrumentalist" and "Best Jazz Instrumentalist". Flo Anito is a talented singer in her own right. Combine these two with a great backline and a pleasurable afternoon of melody is in store. The lineup for this concert includes: Seth Kibel -- clarinet, tenor saxophone, flute; Flo Anito -- vocals; Sean Lane -- piano; Tom Holtz -- helicon; Joey Antico -- drums, vocals. Learn more about Seth and his music here: [www.sethkibel.com](www.sethkibel.com) The Potomac River Jazz Club (PRJC) has been bringing Traditional Jazz to the DC area since 1971.
