“Code security is a vital piece of a cybersecurity program and overall tech stack, but far from the only one” Justin Greis, CEO of consulting firm Acceligence pointed out. “There’s no doubt that improving code security and enhancing the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC) will strengthen an organization’s security posture, but it will not eliminate the need for tools and services like EDR/MDR, IAM, threat intel, and data protection.”
He added, “however, this is a clear signal that the AI companies are going to continue to expand their use cases and analyze more and more data, code, and bring real insight and action to security organizations. The pace of their innovation is staggering and unprecedented.”
Keeps a human in the loop
However, Greis offered a warning to CISOs: “For those who blindly rely on any code scanning tool, AI or otherwise, to replace the fundamentals of good security practices and secure coding, this is your red blinking light to not outsource the very expertise that protects the value proposition of the product or service you’re developing. We must keep qualified humans in the loop and ensure we use AI as an accelerator, not a replacement for expertise,” he said.
