Joseph Katsioloudes - Code Security Reinvented Navigating the era of AI | DevCon Fall 2025

Описание: Artificial intelligence (AI) already serves as a copilot in our daily lives, acting as a digital assistant and delivering personalized experiences. Despite progress in many areas, AI has historically fallen short of improving software development practices. This changed with the introduction of AI pair programmers, which distill the collective technical know-how of the world’s developers, and their widespread adoption has been quite telling.

While the process of building software has become easier and faster, the question remains: What about more secure? In this session, we’ll demonstrate six practical ways developers can use AI to tap into the world’s security knowledge, showcased through 14 demos in GitHub Copilot. The audience will gain a deep understanding of AI capabilities for security, the pros and cons of security MCP servers, how to make informed decisions for supply chains, and other key practices along with insights drawn from our own lessons as developers striving to ship secure code. Finally, we’ll share a playground repository where attendees can safely experiment with everything demoed.
