The Verification Layer: Why AI Security Can’t Be Left to AI

Oct 29, 2026

 

AI can write the code, but should it also grade the security? AI now builds software faster than any team can review it, powers the products built on it, and is increasingly used to break it. If AI writes the code and AI checks it, who is actually verifying it? Mend.io CMO Stephanie Broyles puts that question to Chief Product Officer Asaf Saar and Mend AI General Manager Gil Regev.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Why a model grading its own work isn’t verification, and a better model won’t fix that
  • What avionics, medical devices, and automotive teach about keeping the validator separate from the builder
  • Why β€œis it real, reachable, exploitable, and fixed?” is the new control point now that discovery is cheap
  • Where AI powered applications fail in ways code scanning can’t see, and why no system can be its own red team
  • A practical framework for what you protect, who verifies it, and how to verify continuously

  • Asaf Saar, EVP and Chief Product Officer – Mend.io
  • Gil Regev, GM Mend AI – Mend.io
