Presentation Summary
AI is already transforming how software is built—but for security teams, it’s mostly just making life harder. Developers are shipping AI-generated code at breakneck speed, while security teams struggle to keep up. The challenge isn’t just securing AI-generated code and systems—it’s evolving your AppSec program to keep pace with software development.
We'll explore how security teams can evolve their programs across two key dimensions: securing AI-driven software development and using AI to enhance security workflows. You’ll learn:
- Strategies for managing risks from AI-generated code and autonomous agents
- How security teams can use AI to reduce work and improve security outcomes
- Where AI can enhance security—and where human expertise remains irreplaceable.
AI isn’t just a security challenge; it’s a chance to build a smarter, more efficient security program. Join us to learn how to make AI work for security, not against it.
Presenter Bio
Bonnie Viteri
I’ve spent the last 7+ years on security teams at Yahoo (you might’ve heard of the Paranoids) and Verizon, where I built programs that work for people—not just policies. I’m a frequent speaker on the OWASP circuit and have worked across industries including telecom, hospitality, and fitness.
I design security programs that make sense—turning complexity into clarity. With the analytical mind of a behavioral psychologist and an M.S. in Criminology, I see beyond the technology to the people behind it. Always observing, always listening, I uncover the motivations that drive behaviors, making me a catalyst for meaningful change. Security isn’t just about tools, it’s about trust. By understanding what motivates developers and fostering strong relationships, I’ve successfully optimized cloud services, enhanced cross-functional collaboration, and built innovative solutions that accelerate business transformation.
My work is my biggest hobby. I love what I do—and I bring that energy into every team I join.
