Securing AI at the Speed of Engineering | DoorDash | Forward Deployed Security | GRC Engineering

Is your security team moving at the speed of your engineering team? In this special live recording of the AI Security Podcast from San Francisco, Ashish is joined by Nick Reva (Global Director, Engineering Security, DoorDash) and Shivani Doke to tackle the two most critical conversations in AI right now: Proactive Offensive Security and the evolution of GRC .

In the first half, Nick explains why traditional AppSec teams fail to keep up with AI development, and shares his strategy for building "Forward Deployed" tiger teams that embed directly with product engineers . Nick also coins the term "Claude Kiddie", a new breed of script kiddies using AI to generate sophisticated bug bounty reports and argue with triage administrators .

In the second half, Shivani defines the emerging role of the "GRC Engineer." As AI compresses the software development lifecycle and introduces complex third-party (and fourth-party) risks, static PDF policies and manual compliance screenshots are dead . Learn how GRC is shifting left, embedding guardrails directly into CI/CD pipelines, and eventually using AI agents to automate the bane of every compliance officer's existence: evidence collection.
