Industry
Advisory Board
The project is guided by an advisory board of industry partners who provide practical insights, real-world use cases, and validation of research outcomes. The board is composed of companies that want to enable secure code generation when integrating large language models (LLMs) into their software development lifecycle, including:
- AI project developers — benefit from early detection of vulnerabilities in AI-generated code
- Software engineers — adopt state-of-the-art guardrails for LLM-assisted development in client engagements
- AI engineers — ensure that LLM-integrated pipelines produce reliable, secure, and compliant code
