Old Rules, New Tools: Why Pre-AI Security Fundamentals Still Win

​Security fundamentals still matter: App security, API security, and identity best practices from before ChatGPT launched in November 2022 remain relevant today.

​AI is an enabler, not a replacement: AI tools should improve developer and security team productivity,not replace core security practices.

​Stick to the basics: Segmentation, identity hygiene, secure code reviews, and knowing your attack surface remain essential.

​Learn from real-world experience: Brian Laing (Field CTO/CSO, AccuKnox) and Robert Broeckelmann (AppSec/API/identity consultant) share hard-won security lessons.

​Watch out for “AI slop”: AI-generated code and content introduce a new risk that security teams need to address.

​Lateral movement remains familiar: Identity exploitation and lateral movement follow similar patterns, whether attackers enter through a user or a service.
