Securing AI-Generated Code in the SDLC

This is about putting guardrails around code written by AI assistants (like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT) so that insecure code doesn’t sneak into your products. Think of it as a security scanner and policy engine that constantly checks and enforces rules on everything AI is allowed to contribute to your software.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

AI code assistants can quickly introduce security vulnerabilities, license violations, and compliance issues into the codebase at scale. Traditional AppSec processes are not designed for the speed and volume of AI-generated changes, creating new risks of bugs, data leaks, and regulatory non-compliance.

Value Drivers

Risk mitigation: Reduce security vulnerabilities and data exposure caused by AI-generated codeCompliance: Enforce secure coding standards, license rules, and regulatory policies on AI-assisted developmentCost reduction: Avoid expensive rework, incident response, and post-release patching by catching issues earlier in the SDLCVelocity with control: Allow developers to safely use AI assistants without slowing them down with manual reviewsAuditability: Visibility into where and how AI-generated code is used across repos, teams, and pipelines

Strategic Moat

Deep integration into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows, combined with security policy engines and specialized detection rules for AI-generated code, can create a sticky, organization-specific control plane that is hard to replace once embedded.

Scalability Bottleneck

Scanning large monorepos and high-frequency AI-assisted commits in CI/CD can create performance and cost bottlenecks, especially if multiple checks (SAST, secrets, license, policy) run on every change.

Differentiation Factor

Focuses specifically on managing and securing AI-generated code and its lifecycle within modern CI/CD pipelines, rather than just generic static code analysis; positions itself as an application security posture management layer tuned for GenAI-assisted development.
