## AI overview

AI accelerates software delivery, but immature application security can scale small mistakes into systemic vulnerabilities. The article argues that autonomy, machine-speed change, and weak governance increase blast radius and reduce visibility, while mature AppSec provides enforceable policies, control, and accountability for safer acceleration.

## Source excerpt

While AI accelerates software delivery, it also scales security risks by turning minor errors into systemic vulnerabilities. Learn how to transform AI from a potential liability into a secure engine for growth through robust governance and control.
