Cloud Required DevSecOps. AI Requires DevSecEng
CIO, Wednesday, April 1st, 2026
DevSecOps was fine for the cloud, but with AI agents now provisioning their own credentials, we need DevSecEng to keep these autonomous bots from going rogue.
The first wave of security 'left-shifting' was driven by containers and the cloud, requiring unprecedented CIO-CISO collaboration. But that's no longer enough. AI has introduced new attack surfaces that can be exploited at machine speed, with equally complex governance challenges.
As 84% of developers integrate AI tools into their workflows and Gartner predicts AI governance issues will cause 2026 security budgets to surge by as much as $29 billion over 2025, the gap between engineering and security widens daily. DevSecOps was built for the cloud. AI needs DevSecEng.
