Episode 340 Deep Dive: Paul Davis | JFrog’s First Step Towards AppTrust and DevGovOps
byKBI.Media

In this episode, we sit down with Paul Davis, Field CISO at JFrog, as he explores JFrog’s approach to building trust in software development pipelines and the evolution towards DevGovOps. Paul shares his perspective on elevating trust from the granular level of software releases to the broader application layer, emphasising the need for consistent, automated, and reliable methodologies in development. He discusses the critical role of automation in balancing speed and security, tackling tool sprawl, and mitigating risks posed by open source dependencies. The conversation touches on the realities of legacy tech debt, the challenges of integrating and consolidating security tooling, and the importance of having a single source of truth.

Paul is an experienced IT Security Executive who, as Field CISO at JFrog, works to help CISOs, IT execs and security teams, enhance protection of their software supply chain. Additionally, he advises IT security startups, mentors security leaders, and provides guidance on various IT security trends.

AI in Defence – A Partner, Not a Quick Fix

AI in Defence – A Partner, Not a Quick Fix

By Pamela Hornilla | Artificial Intelligence, Leadership, Security Operations
​AI has been making waves for years now. It has moved from the pages of science fiction into the control rooms of our defence and security agencies and critical infrastructures, watching over networks and inspecting traffic. Why wouldn’t it be when it promises to work faster than humans and spot the tiniest anomaly possible? For defence and cybersecurity, where every second counts, this is a tempting offer. The Transition to AI The push toward AI stems from the needs and demands of the cybersecurity space. Threats are now multiplying at a rate ...

AI Governance in the Age of Relentless Adoption

AI is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how we work, how decisions are made, and how organisations operate. The pace of adoption is relentless. In many organisations, AI is embedded into workflows even when no formal policy or governance exists. This gap between adoption and oversight is one of the most pressing issues in technology leadership. Without governance, AI may deliver short-term...

Why Australia’s AI Ambitions Depend on Smarter Networks

Australia’s ambition to be a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) is clear—from sovereign AI strategies to booming enterprise deployment. But underneath the promise lies a pressing energy challenge.

Resilience, Not Just Compliance: A Zero Trust Perspective for Federal Cybersecurity

Introduction For decades, cybersecurity in government has been defined by a familiar cycle: secure the perimeter, block the intruders, respond to the audits. That model no longer works. As adversaries grow more sophisticated and resources remain tight, the federal community needs a new mindset. Prevention still matters, but resilience must come first. That shift from preventing every attack to assuming breach and...
