## Key points

- AI coding can speed up work while increasing security problems.
- State security requirements clearly and keep reusable instructions.
- Protect secrets and secure database queries and access.

## Summary

AI assisted “vibe coding” can help developers work faster, but using generated code without understanding or reviewing it can expose users, devices and apps to security risks. The article sets out practical safeguards for beginners who rely on AI coding tools.

It cites Apiiro’s analysis of Fortune 50 companies, which found engineers were four times more productive with vibe coding but produced ten times as many security issues. Its advice includes giving AI explicit security requirements, saving persistent instructions, using tools with audit logs, keeping keys and passwords out of prompts and code, and storing secrets in protected environment settings. For data heavy apps, it also recommends parameterised SQL queries, sanitised inputs and row level security.
