AI Is Rewriting How Software Is Built and Secured

By / Blog / , ,

AI is transforming software development and security, with a report revealing widespread adoption of AI-generated code among organizations. While most use AI coding assistants, only 19% have clear visibility of their AI usage, increasing security risks. Shadow AI—unapproved tools used by employees—exposes organizations to vulnerabilities due to lack of oversight. Despite productivity boosts, 65% report heightened risks, prompting security teams to enhance governance. There’s a push towards converging application security practices for better risk management, indicating a need for balance between innovation and security.

Why Cybersecurity Must Shift To Continuous Incident Response

By / Blog / ,

Modern cyberattacks move so quickly and use so much automation that traditional, step-by-step incident response can’t keep up. Security tools generate numerous alerts, but human analysts often cannot respond quickly enough, resulting in a significant gap between detection and mitigation of threats. The new model requires continuous incident response, where detection, analysis, and action are coordinated, and automated containment works in conjunction with human oversight. Integrating data across all systems and utilizing automation for routine defenses ensures that incidents are addressed promptly, enhancing security teams’ ability to adapt as threats become increasingly complex.
