Speaker: Javier Garza, Solutions Engineer @ Snyk
Title: Intro to AI Agentic Coding Tools
Abstract: AI agentic coding tools are redefining how developers build software — and how attackers exploit it. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to securely use tools like Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot while identifying and mitigating AI-specific security risks. We’ll cover detection of tool poisoning, prompt injection, and toxic flow vulnerabilities in MCP servers, followed by AI-focused red teaming of LLM endpoints and AI-powered APIs to uncover jailbreaks, data leakage, and unsafe behaviors. Attendees will leave with practical skills, tooling, and security patterns for building safer AI-driven development workflows.

Speaker: Chandrani Mukherjee, Senior Product Security AI & Data Engineer
Title: When AI Talks to Tools: Adopting MCP Securely
Abstract: The rise of AI-driven coding assistants and "vibe coding" is transforming how developers write software. Security is no longer an afterthought; it has shifted further left, directly into the Integrated Development Environments (IDE), where developers spend most of their time.

This talk delves into the transformative shift from traditional coding practices to AI-assisted and "vibe coding" methodologies, emphasizing the proactive integration of security within the IDE. I will discuss the role of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) and a demonstration of a seamless integration of an MCP server into an IDE to offer real-time, context-aware security guidance without disrupting the developer's workflow. The talk will also cover essential topics such as authentication protocols between IDEs and MCP servers, potential risks and vulnerabilities within MCP environments, and strategic defenses, including best practices for hardening MCP configurations.
