Why It Matters

Understanding and mitigating AI‑driven vulnerabilities is essential for protecting modern applications and preserving trust as generative AI becomes a core development tool.

Key Takeaways

  • Generative AI reshapes application threat models dramatically for developers
  • AI‑generated code and prompt injection bypass traditional appsec tools
  • Agentic workflows create new attack surfaces across the SDLC
  • OWASP GenAI Security Project will outline top LLM risks
  • Free virtual summit on May 27; register via securityweekly.com/genai

Summary

The OWASP Generative AI Virtual Cybersecurity Summit, scheduled for May 27, was announced as a free online event targeting developers and security professionals grappling with the rapid adoption of generative AI.

The speaker warned that AI‑generated code, prompt‑injection attacks, and autonomous agentic workflows are expanding the attack surface beyond the capabilities of conventional application security tools, creating a widening gap between shipping and securing software.

He cited the OWASP GenAI Security Project as the source of emerging best‑practice guidance, promising detailed coverage of the most critical LLM and agentic AI risks throughout the software development lifecycle.

By convening experts to share mitigation strategies, the summit aims to help organizations adapt their security posture, reduce exposure to novel AI‑driven threats, and maintain compliance as generative AI becomes integral to product pipelines.

Original Description

Generative AI introduces risks like prompt injection, AI-generated code issues, and agentic workflows that traditional security tools weren’t designed to handle.
This creates a growing gap between building software and securing it, especially as teams adopt AI faster than security practices evolve.
Join the OWASP Generative AI Virtual Cybersecurity Summit on May 27 to hear from experts tackling these risks—are you prepared to secure your AI systems end-to-end?
