- Anthropic's AI-native SDLC has AI authoring 80% of merged code, with engineers shipping 8x more code per quarter than in 2021-2025.
- Security processes must scale with increased velocity to avoid bottlenecks; threats include compromised agents, supply-chain poisoning, and high-volume vulnerabilities.
- Key strategies: connect security agents to organizational context, shift left by closing the loop between vulnerability discovery and code generation instructions, and limit blast radius via hard boundaries.
- Automated reviews (agentic + deterministic) accelerate code review; human review is reserved for critical or regulated code, with risk-weighted sampling.
- Dynamic testing (DAST) must match deployment cadence, using AI-powered scans for complex cross-component vulnerabilities.
- Monitoring evolves with alert triage by single-purpose agents and automated code migrations; human focus shifts to monitoring loops and governance.
- Enduring principles: use identity-bound agents with minimum permissions, separate agent roles, and continuously update guidelines (CLAUDE.md) to prevent recurring bugs.
