AI’s latest wave is reshaping cybersecurity in a fundamental way. Capabilities that once were limited to a handful of frontier models are now widely accessible, cheaper, and embedded across more environments. As access expands, risk is growing fast and scaling even faster.

Static application security testing (SAST) tools are intentionally conservative. Traditional scanners identify code that appears exploitable and flag the snippet for review, even when protections elsewhere in the application prevent exploitation. Although that approach helps teams catch vulnerabilities, it also creates false positives that consume developer time, slow remediation efforts, and make future alerts easier to dismiss.

IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that 97% of organizations that experienced an artificial intelligence (AI)-related security incident lacked proper access controls on AI systems. The same report highlighted that 63% of organizations lacked governance policies to manage AI or prevent shadow AI. Despite those statistics, AI is now deeply embedded in workflows across critical business functions. Employees are using public AI tools to work faster.
