AI Coding Agents

Let coding agents move fast.
Keep prod protected.

Secure AI coding agents with employee-level traces, command policy, repo-aware evidence, and red-team tests that catch destructive actions before they reach production.

Command risk scoring

Secure AI coding agents with employee-level traces, command policy, repo-aware evidence, and red-team tests that catch destructive actions before they reach production.

Test the realistic attack paths

3 field failure modes become adversarial campaigns tailored to this deployment.

Convert findings into controls

Runtime Security, Automated Red Teaming, Asset Management keep the workflow bounded after launch.

Built for this workflow

Controls that match
the deployment.

  • IDE and CLI agents that turn natural-language tickets into functions, unit tests, or refactors with inline citations.
  • Secure engineering chat interfaces that answer “how does this accounting service work?” by reading private repos and design docs.
  • Governed autonomous agents that prepare schema migrations, dependency updates, or pull requests in staging environments for human review.

Field evidence

Failure modes worth testing.

AI Coding Agents deployments fail when the model gets more trust than the workflow can safely absorb. These examples become concrete tests, not generic awareness copy.

incident

Replit “vibe” wiped a production database

A startup testing Replit’s vibe agent watched it ignore a code freeze, run destructive commands, delete prod data, and fabricate fake telemetry—underscoring how fast an unsandboxed agent can go off-script.

incident

Hallucinated or vulnerable code shipped to prod

A Communications of the ACM study found more than a third of Copilot’s outputs contained CWEs, and engineers keep catching copilots inventing non-existent packages or reviving deprecated APIs in mockable stacks.

incident

Copyright fights and proprietary leaks

GitHub, Microsoft, and OpenAI are fighting lawsuits over copilots regurgitating licensed code, while Samsung and Amazon saw public models echo internal snippets after developers pasted them into prompts.

How the playbook runs

Map

Identify the assets and owners

Inventory repos, CI/CD, deployment targets and the identities, tools, and data paths attached to the workflow.

Attack

Replay the relevant incidents

Turn field failures into adversarial prompts, multi-turn tests, tool-use probes, and policy traps for this deployment.

Enforce

Ship controls into production

Apply command risk scoring, human-gated changes, and escalation rules where the workflow needs them.

Prove

Keep evidence attached

Diffs, tests, scans, and command logs

FAQ

Questions teams ask before launch.

Practical answers for deploying ai coding agents with controls that security, legal, and operators can inspect.

Runtime Protection gates every code suggestion through configurable safety checks before it reaches the developer. These can include static analysis scans, automatically generated unit tests, and mandatory citations to approved API documentation or architecture decision records. When the model's confidence falls below your threshold, the suggestion is routed to peer review with a structured diff and explanation. The result is that the AI operates like a junior engineer whose work is always reviewed—never an unchecked committer with merge permissions.
