11:00 AM - 11:30 AM
AI Risk Summit Track 2 (Salon II)

About This Session

AI-assisted coding is democratizing software development, empowering anyone to build applications at unprecedented speed. But this "vibe coding" trend—rapid prototyping by individuals without formal training—also creates new security challenges. From typosquatting attacks to dependency hijacking, attackers are targeting these environments, exploiting developer overconfidence and expanding the attack surface. This session will equip security leaders with insights into these emerging risks and practical steps to secure their software supply chains in an AI-driven world.
