🔐 October is #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth and this year it feels more urgent than ever. With AI-generated code contributing to the rise of shadow code (unauthorized or unmonitored code), untracked changes, hidden vulnerabilities, and insecure dependencies can quietly sneak into CI/CD pipelines, exposing organizations to breaches and compliance failures. You can't secure what you can't see. That’s why we put together our guide: 5 Steps to Tackle Shadow Code Now. It outlines what shadow code is, how it's sneaking into your systems, and what to do about it. 👉 Don’t let shadow code put your business in the dark. Read the guide here: https://lnkd.in/gFfitm7A

AI is here to stay, but trust is key to unlock it's full potential. Google’s latest DORA report shows: 🤖 90% of dev teams are already using AI at work ⚡ Most see productivity gains 🤔 Yet a third say they don’t fully trust AI-generated code That is the AI trust gap. At CloudBees, we don’t see this as a reason to slow down on AI, but as a call to build trust into the pipeline. Think: 🔎 Traceability of AI-generated changes 🚧 Policy and security guardrails 🧠 Human oversight where it matters most Ashwin Mithra, our Global Head of InfoSec, recently shared with CSO Online how AI coding assistants can amplify cybersecurity risks if not managed well. It’s a great read on why trust and governance are essential as AI becomes a teammate in software delivery. https://lnkd.in/gMtx3XAa
