Security Risks Of AI-Generated Code And How To Manage Them
Search Security, Friday, May 30th, 2025
Application security teams are understandably worried about how developers use GenAI and LLMs to create code. But it's not all doom and gloom; GenAI can help secure code, too.
Large language model-based coding assistants, such as GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer, have revolutionized the software development landscape. These AI tools dramatically boost productivity by generating boilerplate code, suggesting complex algorithms and explaining unfamiliar codebases. In fact, research by digital consultancy Publicis Sapient found teams can see up to a 50% reduction in network engineering time using AI-generated code.
