OWASP vs NIST: Which Security Framework Actually Works for Vibe Coding?

Your AI-generated code might expose sensitive data, enable unauthorized cryptocurrency mining without proper security measures, and even allow access to networks and devices. So, obviously, we need to use a security framework that will harden our code and help identify and prevent many of these vulnerabilities. There are two frameworks most people use: OWASP and NIST. OWASP's Cheat Sheet Series provides specific application security guidelines, while NIST delivers a complete organizational approach. This piece explores the best security approach—whether OWASP, NIST, or both—to protect your vibe coding workflow. You'll learn how to keep the productivity advantages that drew your attention to AI-assisted development.

The Truth About Predictive Security Analytics: Real Threats & Solutions

However, while they can improve protection, they can also introduce dangerous vulnerabilities that slip through traditional security checks and reach production environments.

Secure Your Vibe Coding: Real Blockchain Protection Strategies

Blockchain has been haled as one of the most secure technologies in existence. And while it appears vulnerable to future quantum technology, the newly-developed field of vibe coding poses a more immediate threat. Fortunately, there is a new system in place that can help guide you into creating blockchains that are more secure. It’s called the R.A.I.L.G.U.A.R.D. framework.

Low Quality Vibe Coding and CVEs

Vibe coding has created a perfect storm for CVEs. When developers describe what they want to AI models (rather than writing the code themselves), these AI models typically skip simple security measures like input sanitization and proper access controls. The numbers paint a scary picture: over half of organizations fix only about 10% of the vulnerabilities they find.

Security Awareness Basics: A Practical Guide to Safer Vibe Coding

AI language models produce code that's insecure, on average, 43% of the time - at least according to recent studies. Your security mindset must be razor-sharp when you use vibe coding, where AI turns your plain English descriptions into actual code. Because while the technology makes coding easier, it also creates major security holes.

Vibe Coding Security Guide: Proven Ways to Shield Your Supply Chain

AI-generated code, specifically vibe coding, has reshaped the scene of software development. And as many of you know, that’s not entirely a good thing. Because while the speed gains are impressive, LLM-generated code contains inherent security flaws that standard evaluations often miss.

The Hidden Threats in CI/CD Pipeline Security: A Developer's Guide

If you’ve been in the cybersecurity space for any length of time, you are probably aware that your software supply chain faces sophisticated threats that can compromise CI/CD pipeline security.

Hopefully by the end of this, you’ll be ready and able to begin implementing stronger security in your development.

Python Security: Hidden Risks in Third-Party Packages

It’s no secret that, love it or hate it, Python is the third-most-used programming language in the world. One of the key components of Python is its ability to use pre-packaged blocks of code, available to anyone for importing and using, and there are many packages. PyPI, for example, hosts more than 300,000, with other sources adding to that number. This comes at a cost, however, as the ecosystem is now so large that almost half of these packages contain problematic or exploitable code. We'll look at the hidden risks in Python's package ecosystem and offer affordable ways to secure your Python applications.

Quantum-Proof Your Network: Essential Security Steps for 2025

Quantum computing threats create an urgent cybersecurity challenge that needs immediate attention, as any encrypted data intercepted now could be stored and decoded once quantum computers become powerful enough. Consumer awareness remains surprisingly low about these quantum cybersecurity risks, and organizations might need decades to switch to quantum-safe protocols. Today, we’ll show you everything you need to protect your network against quantum computing encryption risks. Your organization can keep up with trends during this fundamental technological change.

What Senior Developers Really Think About Vibe Coding Security

You'll learn common pitfalls to avoid and practical ways to use these tools while keeping your application safe.

Vibe Coding Done Right: Essential Guidelines to Avoid Technical Debt

Vibe coding represents a practice where developers, armed with AI coding tools, build software faster, prioritizing speed over quality. These AI tools can speed up development cycles, but they often create substantial technical debt. It’s no longer a secret that as AI adoption grows, delivery performance continues to decline. This trend shows why teams need better strategies to avoid technical debt while working with these tools.

Why Vibe Coding Security Risks Slip Past Regular Scanners

The question of responsibility becomes much harder when AI tools generate code. Research shows that vibe coding creates a diffused accountability model across "black-box" systems rather than people. This lets algorithmic problems go unnoticed and unchallenged. No one can fix issues or ensure ethical oversight as mysterious algorithms replace human decisions.
