AI is shipping code faster than security was built to handle

Short summary

AI coding assistants are generating code faster than traditional security tooling can validate, creating a critical gap: pentests remain quarterly while deployments are weekly, novel attack vectors like prompt injection go undetected, and dependencies sprawl unchecked. Security must shift left into the IDE and agent loop itself. Teams need inline feedback, continuous testing, and least-privilege agent scoping.

• •AI code generation velocity exceeds traditional security review cycles (quarterly pentests vs. weekly deployments)
• •New attack surfaces (prompt injection, insecure context passing) aren't caught by legacy SAST rules
• •Security must integrate into IDE and agent workflows, not remain a post-deployment gate
