CodeSecCon: Virtual security summit for developers

More than 1,500 developers and cybersecurity professionals are registered for CodeSecCon, a one-day virtual conference taking place today. The program focuses on secure coding, integrating AI into applications, cloud security and hardening WordPress sites.

Speakers include chief product and security officers, cloud and AI engineers, and software developers. The agenda lists an 11:00 a.m. ET session ‘From Security Bottleneck to Revenue Growth Engine’ with Joseph Frisk, CISO at Dine Brands, and Gareth Davies, chief product officer at Auth0; at 11:30 a.m. Mike McGuire of Wiz will address security in agentic development; noon features Christina DePinto of Datadog on securing cloud environments. Afternoon sessions include Haim Michael on WordPress incidents at 12:40 p.m.; Chris Bao on using an AI gateway as a security control plane at 1:15 p.m.; Khushboo Bhatia of Google at 1:45 p.m. on preventing agent runtime jailbreaks and over-permissioned code; Karan Bansal at 2:15 p.m. on enforcing least privilege for AI coding agents; Ravikumar Dwivedi at 2:45 p.m. on a three-part model for human-AI code collaboration; and Jitendra Singh at 3:05 p.m. on protecting telemetry in cloud-native applications.

Presentations cover methods for secure design, detecting and preventing over-permissioned code, protecting sensitive data in cloud-native settings, and preventing model and runtime jailbreaks. One talk reviews real WordPress incidents and offers recommendations for hardening common content management setups.

Organizers framed the sessions around integrating security checks into development pipelines and setting operational controls and governance to limit exposure when AI features are added to applications. The agenda also addresses how teams can align security work with product and business priorities while maintaining developer productivity.

The conference runs entirely online and is aimed at developers, security engineers and product leaders who work with cloud infrastructure, AI features or content management systems.
