Prompt Injection Isn’t Just a Chat Problem — It’s a DevOps Threat
Prompt injection is evolving into a serious DevOps threat, enabling AI agents to misuse tools, leak secrets and execute unauthorized actions unless governed with least privilege, sandboxing and human approval.
Bridging the Dev–Security Gap With Smarter Authorization
Software teams have always lived with a built-in tension – developers push to ship fast, while security teams pump the brakes to assess risk. Now, with AI flooding the enterprise, that friction is spiking. One recent survey found a staggering 322% jump in privilege-escalation risks tied to AI-generated code. The root problem isn’t new – […]
