Appsec & DevSecOps Sydney
FAQ
What is AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney?
AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney is an in-person conference for senior leaders and practitioners responsible for application security, DevSecOps, software engineering, platform engineering, security architecture and secure technology delivery. The 2027 event takes place on 10 February at Royal Randwick Racecourse and brings together security and developer decision-makers to examine how organisations can embed security into modern software development without slowing delivery.
The programme focuses on the decisions becoming more difficult as software delivery becomes faster, more automated and more dependent on external components. It explores how teams can design applications and delivery processes for resilience, replace manual security gates with automated guardrails, maintain trust and accountability across AI-assisted development, and improve confidence in open-source components, SaaS platforms and other software supply chain dependencies.
Rather than treating application security as a downstream vulnerability-management activity, AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney is designed to help attendees compare practical approaches, learn from peers and make better-informed decisions across security, engineering and software delivery.

Who should attend AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney?
The event is designed for Chiefs, VPs, Directors, Heads, Managers and senior practitioners responsible for technology, engineering, IT delivery, DevOps, DevSecOps, SecOps, software engineering and development, IT product, testing and release, security architecture, application security and IT operations. It is most relevant to people who need to improve software security without slowing delivery.
Why should I attend AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney?
Attend AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney to examine how leading teams are improving software security while maintaining the speed, autonomy and reliability modern engineering organisations require. Application security and DevSecOps leaders are being asked to manage challenges that traditional review processes and manual security gates were not designed to handle, including AI-generated code, machine-speed delivery, fragmented security tooling, open-source exposure and growing dependence on third-party platforms and services.
The event helps attendees pressure-test their decisions, compare approaches with peers and explore how other organisations are embedding security into development without turning AppSec into another delivery bottleneck. The programme examines how teams are prioritising application risk using context and business impact, building automated guardrails, designing for disruption, improving software supply chain trust and adapting code review, accountability and engineering judgement as AI and automation take on more of the work.
Through practitioner-led discussions, case studies and peer networking, attendees can benchmark their strategies with senior security and developer decision-makers, learn how organisations are responding to emerging risks and identify practical ideas for their own software-delivery environments.
Unlike broader cyber security events, AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney centres on the engineering decisions and trade-offs behind secure software delivery. It provides a forum to challenge assumptions, learn from teams facing similar constraints and take away practical approaches that can be applied across application security, DevSecOps, platform engineering and software development.

How is AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney different from broader cybersecurity events?
AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney concentrates on the engineering and application-security decisions behind secure software delivery. The events positioning connects resilience, automated guardrails, AI-native development and software supply chain trust, rather than treating application security as a downstream vulnerability-management activity.
What networking opportunities are available?
AppSec & DevSecOps Sydney brings together senior leaders and practitioners from application security, DevSecOps, software engineering, platform engineering, security architecture and technology delivery. It is a chance to meet people who are working through many of the same questions: how to embed security without slowing teams down, how to make applications more resilient, and how to build greater trust in AI-assisted development and the software supply chain.
The networking is designed to encourage practical conversations between the security and engineering teams that need to work together to deliver secure software at speed. You can compare approaches, talk through shared challenges and connect with peers dealing with automated guardrails, developer autonomy, AI-generated code, open-source dependencies and third-party platforms.
