📊 NEW REPORT: The Agentic Coding Security Report is live. We wanted to understand what actually happens to application security when AI coding agents start writing real software. So we tested it. We gave Claude, Codex, and Gemini the same job: build two production applications from the same specifications using a normal pull request workflow. Across 38 scans we found 143 security issues, and 87% of pull requests introduced a vulnerability. The patterns were surprisingly consistent across every agent. Issues like broken access control, OAuth flows implemented incorrectly, JWT secrets mishandled, and rate limiting defined but never wired up kept appearing during development. These are not new vulnerabilities. They’re the same security issues teams have dealt with for years, now showing up at agentic speed as AI accelerates development. Our report covers >> • What happens when AI coding agents build real applications • The vulnerability patterns that repeatedly appeared across agents • Why security needs to move earlier in the development process • What this means for teams adopting agentic development workflows 📄 Read the full Agentic Coding Security Report: dryrun.security/the-agentic-co…

Agentic AI is forcing a rethink of enterprise security. DryRun Security sat down with Heather Wishart-Smith to discuss the changing speed and scale at which agentic AI risk can emerge. According to our own CTO @cktricky: “Autonomy plus authority creates behavioral risk, not just code risk.” Without guardrails like strict authority limits, auditability and human escalation points, he warns that “autonomous agents with production access, no kill switch and no audit trail can introduce silent, systemic security failures.” Full piece @Forbes here: forbes.com/sites/heatherw…

PR FEEDBACK IS LIVE IN DRYRUN SECURITY 🔥🔥🔥 When a security finding shows up in a pull request, it shouldn’t turn into a side quest. PR Feedback closes that loop. Now when DryRun Security flags something, developers can reply directly in the thread to mark a false positive or nitpick. DryRun updates the findings instantly, regenerates the PR summary, and logs the action for a clean audit trail. No tickets to file. No separate workflow to manage. No chasing someone down to clear it. Read how it works → dryrun.security/blog/security-…

Commerce replaced SAST noise with Code Security Intelligence. Here’s what changed ↓ Operating under PCI, SOC, and ISO expectations across 12+ languages, Commerce needed security that could keep up with modern, AI-driven development without slowing engineers down. After rolling out DryRun: • Dramatic improvement in PR comment quality from Day 1 • Clear, line-by-line explanations of what changed, why it matters, and how it could be abused • Less triage time on findings that don’t map to real risk • A shift from pattern matching to contextual, exploitability-aware analysis “The context that you get within the pull request being surfaced to engineers is outstanding.” Instead of generic rule text, developers now get real security feedback directly in the PR that builds stronger secure coding habits over time. 💡 See how Commerce did it → dryrun.security/case-studies/c…

Injection. Data leaks. Supply chain risk. None of that is new. What’s new is how fast those “old” problems surface when an LLM system starts reasoning from language and context, and that output gets reused in your app. @wickett breaks it down in this @DEVOPSdigest article, and explains why the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications is so relevant right now.

AppSec leaders: quick gut check. Can you answer these questions about your program with confidence? In this short video, @cktricky, DryRun Security CTO & Co-founder, shares the pointed questions he keeps hearing teams struggle with as development and risk accelerates: ❓Can you train developers based on the actual risks they introduce instead of one-size-fits-all training? ❓Do you know what’s being shipped without being told beyond the release/review process? ❓Are your developers ready to build secure AI applications? ❓Do you know which teams are using AI coding assistants, and do you have the right guardrails? ❓Can you respond to zero-days in minutes, with clear visibility into exposure and next steps? If any of these made you pause, you’re not alone. A lot of teams are still forced into the “old way” of doing AppSec while engineering velocity keeps climbing. We built DryRun Security to help practitioners close these gaps with a modern approach to code risk and visibility. If you want confidence in answering these questions, schedule a demo with us at dryrun.security/get-a-demo

Andrew’s relationship with DryRun runs deeper than a typical board appointment. Our CEO, @wickett, first worked with Andrew during the early days at Signal Sciences, where Andrew built trust the same way he built companies: by staying close to the team, leading with consistency, and focusing on what matters most. One lesson from that time has become part of our DNA at DryRun Security: “Make meaningful progress today.” It’s a simple idea, but it reflects a leadership style rooted in steady execution, strong relationships, and a culture that compounds over time. As application security enters a new era, shaped by AI-native development and accelerating engineering velocity, Andrew brings firsthand experience defining and scaling security categories at exactly the right inflection points. We’re grateful to add his perspective as we continue building for the future of AppSec. Andrew, we’re glad you’re here. Read the full post at dryrun.security/blog/welcoming…

📢 We’re thrilled to welcome Andrew Peterson to our Board of Directors, effective immediately! Andrew is a rare blend of security builder, technologist, and investor with a track record of helping create category-defining companies. He: ➡️ Co-founded Signal Sciences, helping pioneer modern web app & API security (acquired by Fastly in 2020) ➡️ Founded Aviso Ventures, an early-stage fund focused on enterprise & infrastructure software ➡️ Has backed standout AI security teams including Protect AI (acquired by Palo Alto Networks in 2024) and SGNL.ai (acquired by CrowdStrike earlier this year) As Andrew put it: “As AI agents take on more responsibility in writing and reviewing code, security must evolve into something more intelligent, contextual, and adaptive.” That’s exactly the mission at DryRun Security: AI-native code security intelligence built for the agentic era—reducing noise, surfacing real risk, and bringing policy-driven visibility to agentic code changes. Since emerging from stealth, DryRun Security customers are now running 250,000+ code reviews per month through DryRun Security, proof that the way software is built is changing fast, and security has to keep up. Welcome, Andrew! We’re excited to build what’s next! 💥 🔗 Read more at globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
