Another solid day at Hacker Summer Camp connecting with AppSec folks in the trenches. The recurring theme isn't just finding vulns, it's getting them fixed—and more importantly, preventing them upstream. That means working *with* developers, understanding their pain points, and making security less of a roadblock. It's about pragmatic wins and continuous improvement, not just tool deployment. If you're at Black Hat, swing by booth #4943# to share war stories and strategies for effective developer collaboration. Also, don't miss Katie Paxton-Fear and Milan Williams today at 1:30 PM at our booth, talking about 'Overcoming the Fear of Security Risk with AI-Assisted Development'—a critical topic for practitioner success.

Another day at Black Hat, another set of real-world AppSec challenges. Yesterday was about the grind: finding vulns, fixing them, and pushing security upstream. Today, we're staring down the barrel of AI-generated code. It ships fast, but human review? Still moves at human speed. and Pablo Estrada are tackling this gap at 9:30 AM in the Business Hall – a critical discussion on how not to turn review into a rubber stamp. Then at 3:15 PM on Pulse Stage 4, @drewdennison is talking 'Using SAST + Mythos to Shift Right.' For anyone who thinks 'SAST + LLMs' is just marketing fluff, he's demonstrating how this pairing can actually surface novel, long-buried vulnerabilities at scale. This isn't about shiny new tech; it's about practical strategies to keep pace without burning out our teams. Come share your war stories at booth #4943#.
