Overview
Is “vibe coding” the next wave in developer productivity, or will it be the cause of the coming cybersecurity apocalypse? Maybe it’s both—if we’re not careful. Steve Wilson is the author of The Developer’s Playbook for Large Language Model Security and the founder of the OWASP Gen AI Security Project. He’s a big fan of AI-assisted coding, but the web is filled with stories about how it causes critical weaknesses in code security. As development accelerates with generative AI tools, we're seeing a surge in poorly tested code, insecure dependencies, and both new and legacy vulnerabilities introduced by AI.
We’ve asked Steve to join Tim O’Reilly for a conversation on how AI-assisted coding (and vibe coding in particular) introduces new classes of security vulnerabilities. Drawing from real-world cybersecurity insights, Steve will explain how attackers are already exploiting these gaps—and what organizations can do to stay ahead without slowing innovation or compromising development velocity.
