How To Vibe Code With Security In Mind

Dark Reading, Tuesday, August 19th, 2025

As more organizations integrate vibe coding and AI-assisted coding into their application development processes, it's important to remember to put security first.

A tool can be used well or poorly, but much of the time it is neither inherently good nor bad.

Take vibe coding, the act of using natural language to instruct an LLM to generate code. Applied poorly, because models hallucinate and frequently introduce security vulnerabilities, they aren't great at patching up on their own. But when humans are put at the center and code is verified and checked, the models can, in theory, be used to enhance production output (albeit not replace a person entirely).
