The Security Debt Crisis

Enterprise White Paper

AI assisted software development represents the fourth major inflection point in enterprise technology production. Unlike prior shifts (cloud, open source, DevOps), this one introduces a compounding security liability that existing controls cannot contain. Organizations are accumulating Security Debt faster than they can remediate it, creating material exposure under SEC disclosure rules, EU AI Act enforcement, and fiduciary duty standards.

• AI assisted development is the fourth major inflection point in enterprise technology; it introduces compounding security liability existing controls cannot contain.

• Organizations accumulate Security Debt faster than they can remediate, creating material exposure under SEC disclosure rules, EU AI Act, and fiduciary standards.
