AI SAST Explained: Why Traditional Application Security Is Reaching Its Breaking Point | Harness Blog

AI has fundamentally changed software development. Developers are writing more code than ever. AI coding assistants can generate features, tests, documentation, and infrastructure configurations in minutes. Engineering organizations are seeing meaningful productivity gains as AI becomes embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. But there is a catch. Security teams now face a difficult reality: application security was already struggling to keep pace with software delivery before AI arrived.

AI's BIGGEST Problem, They're Losing Money!

For every $1 you pay OpenAI or Anthropic, it's costing them about $1.60. AI is running at a loss — so is the whole business model broken? The full bill for AI hasn't landed yet. In this ShipTalk short, Field CTOs Adam and Martin break down the economics of generative AI: why the frontier labs lose money on every prompt, why they'd need to raise prices ~60% just to break even, and the bet the entire industry is making — that inference costs drop fast enough to catch up. Plus the Gartner forecast every CFO should see: by 2028, the AI bill could be bigger than the employment bill.

Publicly available doesn't mean safe to pull right now

Open source is the backbone of most software. But should developers trust OSS? npm, PyPI, and Maven don't vet packages before publication, so "publicly available" doesn't automatically mean "safe to pull right now." A secure OSS posture is to trust the ecosystem but verify at ingestion: route packages and dependencies through a controlled layer that runs scanning, age checks, and malware detection before anything reaches a build.

DevOps and CI/CD Practices for Scaling Mobile App Backends in Fintech

Fintech mobile applications operate in an environment where performance, reliability, and security are equally important. A slow payment request, an API outage, or a failed deployment can affect thousands of transactions and quickly undermine customer trust. As a product grows, its backend must handle rising traffic without sacrificing stability.

Managing slow container starts with Kubernetes readiness probes

Imagine if your workday started as soon as you woke up. Before you can even start your coffee maker, email alerts are flooding in, coworkers are pinging you on Slack, and your phone is buzzing nonstop with reminders. You haven’t even pulled the covers back, and your boss is asking you about deliverables. This is what Kubernetes pods deal with every day. Unless, that is, you use readiness probes.

Selecting the Best Enterprise Session Border Controller

A Session Border Controller (SBC) is the gatekeeper for modern real-time communications. It's not just a network device. It is a core component of your security, interoperability, and service quality strategy. An SBC secures the boundary between your enterprise network and the outside world, protecting against threats, enabling connectivity between disparate systems, and managing traffic to deliver a high-quality user experience. Think of it as a firewall optimized for voice communications.
