How Merge accelerates AI adoption across engineering without compromising security
Blog post from Merge
Merge, an integration platform, focuses on securely incorporating AI tools into engineering workflows without compromising data security. Led by Chris Bailey, the security team employs a comprehensive strategy that includes reviewing developer tools' data ownership policies, implementing a tiered security review process, partnering with engineering leaders, and maintaining proactive communication about AI developments. They assess tools based on risk levels and purchase enterprise licenses for those that meet security and use case requirements, such as Windsurf and Claude for code generation. This approach fosters trust and compliance among engineers, ensuring they have access to secure, effective tools while remaining at the forefront of AI advancements.
