AI vs. “ I ” :   The opportunity and risk AI brings to coding applications and how we fight back
Description

Organizations are racing to integrate AI into their applications and into the processes that help them design, build and operate them. The future of “vibecoding" where natural language and AI agents generate code, will enable anyone to create applications faster than security teams can keep up. And with this, the role of the human developer is shifting from "creator" to "reviewer and curator.” ​

All of this brings an entirely new class of security vulnerabilities and a different set of challenges around managing risk in applications.  Whilst AI offers a dreamy "10x productivity boost" it can also introduce a nightmarish "10x security risk” unless we learn how to manage our vibecoding with new skills.​

This session examines the dual role of AI in application security: as an attack vector and as our most powerful defence. Discover how Fortify harnesses LLMs for intelligent vulnerability auditing, automated remediation and how AI Governance in code development is rapidly becoming something we all need to care about.​
