How do you secure software when AI is helping developers write more code than ever before?

In this episode of Cyber Conversations, Katie sits down with Alessio Dalla Piazza, Co-Founder & CTO of Equixly, to explore how the rise of AI-assisted development is changing application security and why traditional security testing is struggling to keep pace.Drawing on over 15 years of experience in offensive security and law enforcement, Alessio shares how he identified the growing API security challenge years before the current AI boom and why continuous security testing has become essential for modern organisations.The conversation explores the growing attack surface created by APIs, the limitations of manual penetration testing, and how attackers are already using AI to scale their operations.Topics covered include:- Why API security has become a critical challenge for organisationsThe impact of AI coding tools on software development and risk-Why traditional penetration testing can't keep pace with modern development cycles-How attackers are using AI to automate cyberattacks-The importance of continuous security testing-Why organisations need to focus on foundational security before chasing AI hype-The future of application security and AI-powered testingWhat security leaders should be prioritising todayIf you're interested in application security, AI, DevSecOps, or the future of offensive security, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
