The Age of Risky Software

About this Talk

AI is multiplying the speed and scale at which we can build software. But every agent-written line of code and vibe-created apps also introduces risk, accelerating our attack surface at the same lightning pace. The cloud revolution demonstrated how rapid adoption of the cloud, often without best practices or controls, led to an explosion of exposed assets. Wrangling those is a challenge big enough to create multiple unicorns, and yet cloud misconfiguration remains a top cause of breaches today. Are we facing a similar future with GenAI? Will tomorrow's big security challenge be tracking and managing vulnerabilities in a sprawl of AI generated code and apps?

In this fireside chat, Guypo asks Danny Allan, CTO of Snyk, about this uneasy reality: are we creating too much, too fast, and without enough scrutiny? Where could this be leading us? And most importantly, what can we do about it, while still embracing the creation power of AI?
