The Agenda

Jeevan Singh
Director of Security Engineering at Rippling
Session 1

Being an AppSec Engineer in the Age of AI

How is the job changing, and what’s staying the same?

Most organizations expect security engineers to have expertise in security-specific topics, but as Jeevan Singh (Director of Security Engineering, Rippling) will tell us, that’s just a baseline to drive your career forward. In this session, we’ll discuss:

  • The relevance of technical skills in AppSec and software development
  • The need for influencing and program management tactics
  • What’s changing now that AI is part of daily life
Dimitri Stiliadis
CTO and Co-Founder at Endor Labs
Session 2

Vibe Coding = Mid Security

How secure is AI-generated code?

Tools like Base44, Cursor, and Vercel make it easy for anyone to write code. But as Endor Labs co-founder and CTO Dimitri Stiliadis will demonstrate, that doesn’t mean anyone can generate secure code. We’ll cover:

  • What happens when you scan AI-generated code
  • Fixing vulnerabilities
  • Impact on AppSec programs
Seth Law
Host & Trainer at Absolute AppSec
Session 3

Modern Security Code Reviews

Do your scanners find every risk? (No!)

As a long-time practitioner and instructor of a proven process for conducting secure code reviews, Absolute AppSec co-host Seth Law shares effective strategies for implementing a code review methodology. Topics will include:

  • A general overview of what a secure code review should look like
  • Use of Generative AI and LLMs during code reviews
  • Identification and prioritization of application risks based on code metadata
