The current phase of software development is probably the most insecure era ever — there’s so much more application and code that’s vulnerable, according to Snyk CEO Peter McKay. “It was a struggle for security teams to keep up with the pace of software development prior to generative AI, and now with generative and copilot and Windsurf and all the tools that are out there, you know, they’re moving even faster and security is struggling to keep up.” McKay joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s head of technology research, Mandeep Singh, to discuss the application of large-language models for securing the use of tools, including Cursor and Github copilots. He also talks about the addressable market for DevSecOps (the development, security and operations approach), potential automation driven by AI and Snyk’s acquisitions for both talent and product features as the attack surface expands in cybersecurity.
