AI writes the code, but who checks the security?

AI-generated code is quickly becoming a central part of modern software development. These AI agents can write, test, and deploy code with minimal human input, leading to significant productivity gains.

However, this increased speed comes at a cost. A Stanford study found that in 80% of cases, AI-assisted code was less secure than code written by humans. How can we maintain software security when AI produces code faster than developers can review it?

Organisations now need to re-evaluate their security routines. Some practical solutions that have proven successful include layering defences. Tools like dynamic application security testing and continuous monitoring help catch threats before vulnerable code reaches production.

This is where bifrost stands out: by integrating into CI/CD pipelines and enforcing zero-trust runtime protection, bifrost monitors applications in real-time, automatically blocking unexpected behaviour and minimising attack surfaces.
