Vibe coding has a time and a place: it is great for making quick prototypes, and is very tempting for less technical folks. However, those who don’t understand their own code will be blissfully unaware of the many security vulnerabilities that AI assistants can introduce. In this presentation, I will cover a variety of common vulnerabilities that can be introduced from vibe coding, and then how to recognize and fix them. I will also cover how to prompt genAI tools to code more securely and help you review your code, as well as how to take a hybrid approach with AI-advised coding. This is a crucial topic for anyone venturing into vibe coding, as well as any team leads who are starting to see AI-generated code introduced by more junior members.

Ethical Hacker
Betta Lyon Delsordo began her cyber journey at the age of 13 when she started teaching herself to code. This grew into freelance web development work for small businesses in Montana, where she soon realized she needed to know more about application security to keep her clients safe. She began learning more about secure coding and interned with a hacking firm, and realized she was pretty good at it. After completing a Master's in Cybersecurity at Georgia Tech, obtaining certifications such as the GPEN, and working her way up through pentesting, Betta is now working as a Penetration Tester at Amazon Web Services in Italy. Her areas of expertise include application security, secure code review, cloud security, and AI hacking. She has also built several AI tools for her employers to improve processes such as secure code review and threat intelligence insights. Betta is very involved in the cybersecurity community and with organizations that support women in technology. She has been a mentor for 10 years with Technovation (an international girls coding program), and is an organizer and speaker for organizations promoting diversity in technology including RTC, WiCyS, WISP, and WSC. Betta is a frequent conference speaker on topics ranging from AI hacking to secure coding, and has spoken for the World Bank and conferences like DEF CON 33, ESET World 2025, and WiCyS 2025.
