OWASP Antonio Meetup
We’re excited to feature Nate Michalov, Solution Architect at Endor Labs, at this meetup, who will deliver an insightful session titled “AI coding agents -Risks and Benefits”
Session Overview:
The proliferation of AI coding agents will accelerate the production of code, but what are the risks associated with this acceleration? In many ways the core challenge to securing these outputs will be the familiar fundamental challenges that appsec has always faced: maintaining an understanding of your inventory and risk-posture, conducting security assessments at scale, and managing processes for risk acceptance and remediation. Good appsec fundamentals will be critical in the new era of AI generated code. But coding agents also introduce novel concerns born from the inherent differences between these agents and human developers, as well the additional layers of abstraction which will become intrinsic to AI development: understanding how to vet and validate non-human agents, identifying the operational risks posed by agents trained on open-source, and the complexity of managing code developed through natural language will all require the development of new practices in appsec. This talk will look at some of the new risks that will arise in the era of large scale AI code development, and discuss possible paths forward for deploying such agents in a secure way.
Don't miss this insightful discussion on the emerging risks and challenges of securing AI-generated code in the era of accelerated development.
Join us for the OWASP San Antonio Meetup: AI for AppSec - A discussion of AppSec Best Practices!
