Early-career developers often struggle with secure coding practices. GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer, can assist in writing safer code when used wisely. However, guidance is key; a 2021 study found that approximately 40% of Copilot’s generated code had security vulnerabilities when developers weren’t careful. GitHub responded by upgrading Copilot’s AI model and adding a real-time vulnerability filter to block common insecure patterns.
In this post, we’ll explore how Copilot can help you write more secure code through clear prompts and examples.
