AI for Security Engineers (with Cursor's Security Lead)

2026-02-19

18:00

AI and coding agents are empowering developers to ship new features much more quickly.

Let’s talk about how security engineers can use AI and coding agents to not just keep up, but to become even more leveraged and effective.

And who better to share lessons learned from the trenches than Travis McPeak, Security Lead at Cursor, one of the fastest growing, and fastest shipping AI-first companies right now.

Join Clint Gibler (Semgrep, tl;dr sec) and Travis McPeak for a discussion of:

  • How modern coding agents change what projects are feasible for security engineers.

  • The impact of coding agents on secure defaults and building a “paved road.”

  • Using AI to rapidly ramp up on new code bases and tech domains.

  • Automating cloud security (resource explorer, managing elevated access groups)

  • Building and owning in production security controls, without hurting developer experience (secrets scanning)

  • Getting broad and continuous visibility into code changes (Security BugBot)

  • Where AI is headed, and what it means for you and your role.

We’ll leave plenty of time for questions, so you can ask Travis about whatever’s most immediately pressing and useful to you.

See you there!
