Shift Left Security with AI Assistance
Integrated Policy-as-Code in Development
Cequence Platform 90 brings AI security expertise into IDEs and pull requests, delivering rule-based checks and adaptive recommendations before code merges. This approach reduces late-stage findings and keeps security aligned with developer habits.
Continuous Risk Scoring in Context
Each change receives a contextual risk score that takes into account data sensitivity, threat exposure, and compliance requirements. The AI explains the score and suggests targeted remediation steps tailored to the specific codebase.
Operational Resilience in Production
Runtime Behavior Analytics
In production, Platform 90 observes service interactions, identity usage, and configuration drift, flagging anomalies that may indicate compromise. AI assists analysts by correlating alerts, reducing noise, and proposing containment actions.
Threat-Informed Playbooks
Predefined playbooks, continuously refined by AI, guide responders through likely attack paths. Teams can simulate incidents, validate detection rules, and improve runbooks without manual overhead.
Compliance and Governance Automation
Auto-mapped Frameworks and Evidence
Built-in mappings to major regulatory frameworks allow teams to generate audit evidence automatically. The AI suggests compensating controls and highlights gaps with clear guidance for remediation.
Policy Templates Versioned by AI
Policy templates evolve based on observed risks and framework updates, ensuring that governance artifacts remain current. Version history and impact analysis help stakeholders understand the business value of each change.
Key Takeaways and Next Steps
- Embed an AI security expert directly into developer workflows to catch issues early.
- Use continuous risk scoring and contextual guidance to balance speed and security.
- Strengthen production resilience with runtime analytics and AI-assisted response playbooks.
- Automate compliance mapping and evidence generation to reduce manual effort.
- Start with a pilot in a single pipeline, measure risk reduction, and expand platform coverage incrementally.
FAQ
Reader questions
How does the AI security expert assist developers during coding?
It scans code in the IDE and pull requests, highlighting insecure patterns, suggesting secure alternatives, and explaining the risk in business context so developers can fix issues before code review.
Can Platform 90 integrate with existing CI/CD pipelines?
Yes, it provides API-first hooks for popular CI/CD systems, enabling automated scans, policy checks, and gatekeeping without disrupting established delivery pipelines.
What visibility does the platform provide in runtime environments?
It monitors service communications, identities, and configurations in production, detects anomalies, and uses AI to prioritize alerts and recommend response actions.
Does the platform simplify compliance reporting for audits?
Automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring against controls, and AI-generated reports help teams prepare quickly for audits and maintain continuous compliance.
