We discussed:
A recent talk Jim gave where he discussed transforming secure software creation with AI, doing the work of teams of people on his own and what used to take tens of hundreds of hours through the use of agents and various frontier models and offerings.
The importance of security-centric prompting and guidance for models to produce secure code and the impact on vulnerability velocity by doing so.
The risks of the broader developer community leaning into these tools without adding security-centric prompts and guidance, but the opportunity for prompt libraries and enterprise controls to lead to systemic secure software development within the enterprise.
The workforce implications of AI-driven development and the need to upskill to stay relevant (and employable).
Where Jim sees opportunity beyond just AppSec when it comes to AI and Cybersecurity, in other areas such as GRC and SecOps as well.
