Legacy AppSec Is Out of Step with the Speed of AI

**Executive summary:** This sponsored industry brief warns that AI coding assistants have increased code velocity beyond the capabilities of traditional post-commit AppSec, creating risks such as insecure defaults, hallucinated logic, and unvetted dependencies; it recommends six criteria for AI-era AppSec (real-time in-context validation, developer-centric UX, policy governance and explainability, shadow AI risk detection, ROI/throughput metrics, and ecosystem integration) to close the gap between development speed and security.
