What we’re about

This is the Toronto Chapter for OWASP. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a 501(c)(3) worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of software. Our mission is to make software security visible, so that individuals and organizations worldwide can make informed decisions about true software security risks.

If you are interested in application security, come join us! OWASP Toronto meetings are open to EVERYONE to join for FREE.

Talk Description:

AI is the ultimate accelerant for application development—its power unmatched—but without balance and control, it can quickly ignite new risks, turning potential into destruction. Explore the tangible impact of AI-generated code in this session by playing with fire – Using GPT-driven prompts, we’ll build a fully functional application, and in real time, we’ll uncover how common security flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and weak authentication can manifest in AI-generated code.
Through hands-on exploration, we’ll walk through the potential impact of these vulnerabilities and how these risks could be avoided with secure coding practices, defined policies, developer guardrails, and thorough security audits and code reviews.

By the end of the session, you'll have a deep understanding of how to:

Recognize and assess the risks AI introduces in your code.

Implement secure coding practices and enforce security policies.

Integrate security audits, code reviews, and testing into your development workflow to ensure AI-generated code is safe for production.

This session is vendor agnostic and designed to empower you to reap the benefits of AI without sacrificing security.
