What is it?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the DevSecOps landscape by enabling faster code generation, test automation and increased development velocity. However, this acceleration introduces complexities and potential risks, including undetected vulnerabilities in AI-generated code, increased asset validation demands and unpredictable errors or "hallucinations" from AI models.

As AI continues to permeate the DevSecOps pipeline, organizations need to strike a balance between embracing innovation and maintaining secure, high-quality software delivery.

Why should you care?

While AI can exponentially increase development speed and efficiency, it can also introduce unseen risks:

• Security vulnerabilities: AI-generated code is not inherently flawless. Security gaps can slip through without proper validation. 
• Testing bottlenecks: QA teams may struggle to keep pace with AI-accelerated development, leading to delayed feedback or missed defects. 
• Increased attack surface: The proliferation of AI-generated assets requires rigorous security oversight, as vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors. 

Ignoring these challenges can lead to compromised applications, data breaches and reputational damage. Organizations need an intelligent approach that integrates security, automation and governance across the DevSecOps workflow. 

How does it work?

To mitigate AI-related risks in DevSecOps, OpenText offers a suite of solutions that embed security and governance into every phase of the development pipeline:

• OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform (SDP): An AI-powered platform that orchestrates DevOps pipelines, enabling continuous integration, testing and delivery. It enhances speed and agility while maintaining security standards. 
• OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify): Provides robust application security testing (AST) capabilities, including static, dynamic and software composition analysis. Fortify ensures that AI-generated and manually written code undergo rigorous security checks, identifying vulnerabilities before deployment. 
• OpenText DevOps Aviator: Delivers real-time insights into DevOps performance by leveraging AI to analyze pipeline data, identify bottlenecks and recommend improvements. This visibility helps balance speed and security effectively. 

Differentiation in the market

OpenText's approach stands out by offering:

• Unified visibility across pipelines: OpenText Core SDP provides end-to-end visibility across DevSecOps pipelines, ensuring that security and governance are maintained without disrupting developer workflows. 
• AI-augmented risk management: Fortify leverages AI to detect and prioritize vulnerabilities, enabling faster resolution and reducing the likelihood of AI-generated errors being deployed. 
• Real-time optimization and insights: OpenText DevOps Aviator uses AI to predict potential issues and optimize workflows, giving organizations a competitive advantage by ensuring high-quality code delivery. 

How to position OpenText solutions?

Position OpenText's solutions as the safety net for AI-driven DevSecOps pipelines. Highlight how they:

• Enable faster delivery without compromising security
