Most AppSec teams are stuck in a loop; scan, ticket, close, repeat. Vulnerability counts may go down, but risk does not. This session is about breaking that cycle. Instead of chasing individual findings, it shows how high-performing AppSec teams hunt down the root causes that keep producing the same vulnerabilities over and over again, across code, architecture, and delivery pipelines. We'll walk through how to identify systemic failure patterns, decide what is actually worth fixing, and eliminate entire classes of vulns at the source. You'll learn how to move AppSec out of ticket management and into risk ownership, without slowing engineering or adding more tools. If your backlog keeps growing and the same issues keep coming back, this session is for you.
