AI on the Radar: Securing AI Driven Development

Snyk

Mar 2, 2026

Join Vandana and Rob in this insightful webinar exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of AI security. As we shift from simple query-response models to complex autonomous agents that can plan, execute code, and access sensitive APIs, the traditional security "locks" are no longer sufficient. This session dives deep into the OWASP AI Exchange, a community-driven initiative providing practical guidance and technical controls for securing AI systems. Learn why "moving fast" without security can lead to a "house of dynamite" and discover the essential mental models needed to protect the next generation of AI-driven applications.
