Secure at Inception: Introducing New Tools for Securing AI-Native Development

Snyk is advancing its developer-first security approach in the AI era by introducing three key innovations designed to secure the entire code lifecycle with AI, as announced at Black Hat. These innovations aim to integrate security directly into AI-driven development processes through tools like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, which embeds security intelligence into development workflows, and the AI-BOM, which provides comprehensive visibility and governance of AI components to mitigate risks associated with "shadow AI." Additionally, Snyk has developed Toxic Flow Analysis (TFA) to proactively detect and model attack vectors in the dynamic interactions of AI systems, addressing novel security threats that traditional tools cannot manage. These tools are available for free during their early access phase, encouraging community collaboration to tackle the challenges of securing AI-native software and ensuring a balance between speed and security.
