Can AI Lift Organizations Above the Cyber Poverty Line?

Despite decades of advances in cybersecurity tooling, DevSecOps, and awareness, far too many organizations still operate below what might be called the cyber poverty line — lacking even minimal cyber hygiene. Surveys show that only about half of organizations have adopted DevSecOps best practices (51%), and fewer still use foundational tools like infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning (48%) or dynamic application security testing (DAST) (47%).

Why are these gaps still so wide? Cultural inertia, developer resistance, lack of policy and budget, and simple skill shortages continue to stall progress. But with AI reshaping how we build and secure software, could this finally be the equalizer? Can AI help lift under-resourced teams above the cyber poverty line — automating hygiene, enforcing policy, and embedding secure practices into every line of code?

Join experts from Checkmarx and Techstrong Group, along with Global Engineering Platforms Lead at Thoughtworks, for a forward-looking conversation about how AI can transform DevSecOps adoption. We’ll explore:

  • Why so many organizations still struggle to operationalize basic application security.
  • How AI-generated code introduces new risks — and opportunities — for secure development.
  • What it takes to embed “code-to-cloud” security into self-service developer platforms.
  • Whether AI can finally help organizations cross the chasm — from cyber poverty to cyber maturity.

If you’ve ever wondered whether AI can bridge not just the skills gap but the security gap, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss
