Checkmarx Warns AI Coding Raises AppSec Risk

Mike Vizard talks with Jonathan Rende, Chief Product Officer at Checkmarx, about new survey findings showing that AI-generated code is accelerating software delivery while expanding application security risk. Rende explains why developers continue to ship vulnerable code, why security must be embedded seamlessly into DevOps workflows and why AI-driven attacks require AI-driven defenses that operate at machine speed. The conversation also covers agentic application security, software supply chain risk, vulnerability prioritization, autonomous remediation, secure-by-design development and the need for objective validation separate from the AI systems generating code.
