Prepare Security Guardrails for a 5x Increase in AI-Generated Code

Briefing for: Security & Risk
What happened
With enterprise code moving from 15% to 75% AI-generated in a year, and 30% of PRs becoming fully agent-developed, the sheer volume of code requiring security auditing has increased dramatically.
Why it matters
Traditional manual security reviews cannot scale with a 5x increase in code volume. Security teams must implement automated, AI-driven guardrails and policy-as-code to manage the risk of vulnerabilities introduced by autonomous agents working at high speed.
What this enables
- If you oversee application security, audit your current automated scanning tools to ensure they can handle the volume of an agent-driven PR workflow.
- If you manage software supply chains, establish clear standards for how code produced 'without humans in the loop' is verified and signed.
