I do agree, the right answer is all of those tree.

I believe that all answers are good. I would put it differently: what is the order of action to be cyber resilient and protect against ransomware? The human factor represents an important actor in cyber landscape and still vulnerable one.

AI Coding Assistants: Velocity or Vulnerability?

Latest research reveals a hidden feedback loop threatening software security:
The Evidence: • ≈33% of Copilot suggestions echo CWE Top-25 flaws (Asare et al., 2024) • ~50% of LLM code snippets contain exploitable bugs (CSET, 2024) • Developers with AI help feel more confident while shipping less secure code (Stanford, 2023)
The Systemic Risk: Flawed AI output is pushed to public repositories, polluting the next model's training data—risk compounding with every release cycle.

What leading teams are doing this quarter:
1. Audit AI-tool usage and establish approved lists
2. Insert AI-aware SAST (e.g., Snyk Code, Semgrep Assistant) into IDEs and CI/CD pipelines
3. Adopt OWASP LLM Top 10 + MAESTRO for threat modeling
4. Track percentage of AI-generated code and its defect rates

Question: How are you measuring AI-generated technical debt today, and what is your plan to stop it from becoming tomorrow's supply-chain crisis?
