Changing the game: Using agentic AI to secure infrastructure code
AI is accelerating software development at an unprecedented pace. But as code generation scales, so do the challenges of securing the code, especially emerging AI-based vulnerability exploitations. To meet these challenges, the Google AI and Infrastructure team is transforming how we approach security. In this article, we discuss new AI-native agentic methods that we’ve developed that systematically embed high-precision, pervasive vulnerability scanning and patching directly into Google’s software development lifecycle. By continuously scanning every code change across hundreds of millions of lines of code that we deploy onto our infrastructure, we are preventing hundreds of vulnerabilities per month from ever [...]
