Securing Vibe Coding — Beyond the Hype

Sonya Moisset - Staff Developers Advocate at Snyk
AI coding assistants are everywhere. Developers are vibe-coding entire apps in hours. But with speed comes risk. In this live session, we’ll go beyond the flashy demos to unpack:

What vibe coding really is — and why it’s not just a meme
The complexity ceiling: why CRUD clones are easy, but scaling breaks fast
A few horror stories
The most common security pitfalls: package hallucinations, shadow AI, and agent exploits
A secure-by-design playbook: context engineering, MCP, AI-native IDEs, guardrails, and AI-BOMs.

Customer Voices: Adapting to the AI-Native Future

Hear directly from Snyk customers who are navigating the shift toward AI-native development. In this interactive panel, industry leaders will share how they are leveraging AI to accelerate innovation, improve developer experience, and strengthen security practices—while also addressing the risks and organizational challenges that come with this transformation. Gain insights into real-world use cases, lessons learned, and the strategies customers are using to build trust, efficiency, and resilience in an AI-driven world.

Closing keynote - Model Citizen: How to Secure Your SDLC in the Age of AI

Jeff Watkins - CTO at CreaFuture
Generative AI is rapidly becoming embedded in software delivery pipelines through code copilots, third-party models, and autonomous agents that shape products in real-time. For technology leaders, this introduces a new class of risks that traditional secure SDLC practices don’t fully address: poisoned dependencies, model supply-chain vulnerabilities, opaque agent behaviour, and regulatory scrutiny.
In this session, we’ll examine the implications of both using your own AI models and consuming third-party ones, and what this means for the resilience and reputation of your organisation. Attendees will learn how to evolve their delivery lifecycle to account for AI, where governance must catch up, and how AI itself can play a role in defending the enterprise.
