Generative-AI (GenAI) is revolutionizing software delivery by enabling faster development and release of code and applications. However, the rapid adoption of GenAI introduces novel security concerns and vulnerabilities, necessitating a proactive approach to security within the software development lifecycle (SDLC). To tackle these challenges, Snyk and Google Cloud are partnering to create a combined In-IDE SAST extension, integrating Snyk Code with Google Cloud’s Gemini Code Assist, ensuring secure code generation within the developer’s IDE.

During this session, we will hear how Accenture, a leading Google Cloud partner, is seeing first-hand how AI-generated code can overwhelm AppSec teams and how, through a pilot program including extensive testing, with Accenture developers engaged in various software development tasks to assess the extension’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios, Accenture is committed to enhancing secure AI-assisted coding, improving developer productivity and reducing the time and cost associated with vulnerability remediation.
