The AI security gap: A CTO & CISO’s guide to making their first AI investment

AI coding tools are changing how software gets built. They’re also expanding your attack surface. This guide lays out the risks and how to address them before they become breaches.

By submitting this, I confirm that I have read and understood the Privacy policy.

What you’ll learn:

Why security teams are focused on the wrong threat vector

How AI-assisted development reshapes your attack surface

Why traditional environments lack isolation, governance, or visibility

What secure-by-design actually looks like

How regulated teams are adopting AI safely

Who it’s for:

CTOs evaluating how to integrate AI into engineering workflows

CISOs concerned with expanding attack surfaces and code governance

Engineering and platform leaders responsible for developer experience
and security

Why it matters

Most pilots never make it past the proof-of-concept phase, not because the models don't work, but because the underlying infrastructure isn't ready. Drift, security gaps, and access sprawl kill momentum before value ever materializes.
