About
AI native development tools like Cursor, Devin, and GitHub Padawan are no longer just assistants - they’re becoming co-authors, architects, and in some cases, autonomous engineers. As these tools redefine how software is written and shipped, they raise critical questions about how we manage and secure modern codebases.

In this thought-provoking session, Amit Chita, Field CTO, and Daniel Wyrzykowski, Product Manager from Mend.io, will explore the rapidly evolving intersection of AI first software development and application security. With deep expertise in both domains, they’ll examine emerging patterns, hidden risks, and what the future might demand of security teams and engineering leaders.
