Japan's First-Ever Practical Seminar on AI-Powered Vulnerability Detection to Be Held on July 25

As of July 2026, according to our internal research, this is considered among the first public, hands-on seminars in Japan to systematically teach the entire process of generative AI-powered source code and binary analysis, PoC generation, patch (fix code) creation, and vulnerability report generation.

Heatwave Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kaoru Hayashida), with over 34 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity education, will host the "AI-Powered Vulnerability Detection Seminar" on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

In this seminar, participants will experience how generative AI analyzes actual source code and binary files to: ■ Detect vulnerabilities ■ Create Proof of Concept (PoC) ■ Generate patches (corrective code) ■ Create vulnerability reports

The seminar will also introduce vulnerability detection using local AI environments suitable for enterprise use—not just cloud-based AI—enabling practical learning of next-generation security operations in the AI era.

From "AI that writes code" to "AI that protects enterprises"

Generative AI is rapidly expanding beyond text generation and programming assistance into the field of cybersecurity. Today, AI can analyze source code, detect vulnerabilities, suggest secure fixes, and automatically generate reports—technologies that are now actively supporting human security engineers. At the same time, cyberattacks are also becoming more sophisticated through the misuse of AI, such as generating phishing emails and malware. The era where only attackers use AI is over.

From now on, defenders must also master AI to achieve faster and more advanced security measures.

Why this seminar, and why now?

Enterprises today face growing challenges: accelerating development speed, increasing code volume, and a shortage of cybersecurity talent. Traditional vulnerability assessments are becoming insufficient, and a shift toward AI-integrated development and diagnostic processes has begun.

Heatwave has conducted extensive testing across multiple AI environments, investigating questions such as: "How effectively can AI detect vulnerabilities?" "How accurately can AI generate fix code?"

These findings will be publicly demonstrated in practical format for the first time at this seminar.

What you will experience in this seminar

Participants will operate PCs hands-on to experience:

Source code analysis and vulnerability detection using Claude + RAPTOR ■ Root cause analysis through AI dialogue

Building verification environments using VMware Workstation Pro / Fusion

Vulnerability detection demo using local AI (LM Studio + Cline)

Static analysis using Semgrep

AI-generated patch creation, report generation, and vulnerability disclosure documentation

Participants will learn the entire workflow from detection to reporting.

Recommended for: - Those interested in AI-powered vulnerability detection and assessment - Professionals aiming to streamline secure development - Individuals responsible for vulnerability checks on software and development programs - Those interested in leveraging local AI environments for security
