AI model risk analysis

Learn how to stay two steps ahead of security risks and vulnerabilities in AI-generated code.

Is using AI to build applications faster worth the risks?

While AI models can save developers precious time and accelerate product release cycles, significantly speeding up the release of products, using it comes with heavy new security considerations:

  • AI models often depend on open source code libraries and packages to create their output, which may potentially introduce more vulnerabilities–especially if the dependencies are not always up to date.
  • Security teams can’t tell what AI models were used for applications development, leaving them blinded to potential security threats tied to these models.
  • AI models come with their own set of licensing concerns that security teams are unable to manage due to blind spots when using AI.
