AI-generated code is accelerating software development, but it is also creating risk at machine speed that many application security programs are not built to handle. Organizations must govern AI-assisted code with automated testing, dependency controls, remediation, and policy enforcement before it reaches production. #Veracode #AIgeneratedcode #CISO
Keypoints
- AI-generated code is increasing development speed and security risk at the same time.
- Risk velocity is now a critical metric for application security leaders.
- AI coding tools can reproduce insecure patterns and recommend vulnerable dependencies.
- Secure-by-design must be embedded into workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and remediation processes.
- CISOs need governance, evidence, and policy enforcement before AI-assisted code reaches production.
