As organisations increasingly rely on AI to accelerate software development, ensuring security throughout the process has never been more critical.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security work together to support faster and safer software development. Designed for professionals across different technical backgrounds, the session demonstrates how AI-powered coding tools and automated security checks help identify vulnerabilities before code is deployed.

Through live demonstrations and real-world cyberattack case studies, the workshop highlights the risks of compromised credentials and vulnerable software supply chains. Participants will see how modern attacks exploit weaknesses in development pipelines and why proactive security practices are essential.

Participants will learn how tools such as automated secret scanning, dependency review, and advanced vulnerability detection can help protect applications and critical systems.

🎯 Key objectives

- Understand how AI-assisted development with GitHub Copilot supports faster coding while maintaining security awareness
- Learn how automated security tools detect vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, and supply chain risks
- Explore real cyberattack examples to understand why secure software practices are essential
- Gain practical insight into integrating AI-driven coding and automated security scanning into development workflows

💡 No advanced coding experience is required. The workshop is designed to make AI-powered secure development accessible to professionals with varying levels of technical expertise.
