Integrated security in AI assistants could help to catch code flaws — but they are only one layer in a comprehensive AppSec strategy.

Scott Culp’s formulation still holds true — though some additions are needed that account for software supply chain security.

Here's how to integrate AI-specific risks into your existing security incident response (IR) playbook.

The eslint-config-prettier package exposed more than 10,000 dependent projects. The incident highlights the growing risks in automated dependency updating.

Researchers at Black Hat discussed how these tools can leave development teams vulnerable to hacks like remote-code execution.

Leading firms are using DevEx to achieve application security gains at speed. Here's how it works — and how to get started.

Application security pros need to be ready to cope with security at the speed of code. Here's how to get a handle on modern software risk.

The new AI Vulnerability Scoring System (AIVSS) picks up where the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) falls short.

Policy as Code is emerging as a key area of focus for AppSec teams in the age of cloud-native development. But implementation can be daunting.

The software supply chain incident highlights how quickly threat actors can turn newly revealed vulnerabilities into widespread attacks.

Triaging and patching, plus meeting compliance demands, all bog down modern software teams — and divert time away from development.

Replacing software engineers with AI won't be happening soon — but AI coding is already changing the software risk landscape. Is your company prepared?
