Check out and register for the free webinar on February 18, 2025: The use of AI for code generation.
Generative AI is transforming the software industry, with tools like GitHub Copilot and Codeium enabling developers to achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency. While this is exciting progress, it also raises important concerns, encouraging stakeholders to approach these technologies with care. Current AI tools often lack the nuanced understanding necessary to address subtle, yet critical aspects of software development, particularly in the domain of security.
This course provides a comprehensive insight into the responsible use of generative AI in coding. Participants delve into topics in software development that are most likely to be impacted by careless use of generative AI, including authentication, authorization, and cryptography. The curriculum also includes an analysis of how AI tools like Copilot handle secure coding practices related to key vulnerabilities outlined in the OWASP Top Ten, such as path traversal, SQL injection, or cross-site scripting.
Through hands-on learning and experimenting, participants will get a solid understanding of both the strengths and limitations of AI-assisted development. In addition, case studies of real-world incidents showcase the consequences of insecure code and demonstrate the dual nature of generative AI as both a resource and a potential risk.
By the end of the course, developers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to integrate AI tools into the software development lifecycle responsibly, enhancing efficiency without compromising security or product quality.
PRACTICAL INFO
- The 'Code responsibly with generative AI' training can be organized as in-company training.
- If on-site training is not feasible, we can discuss providing a live, interactive online (virtual) or hybrid training. The standard program with 3-day content can also be delivered in 5 half days (from Monday to Friday).
