Jit Introduces AI Agents to Enhance Security Teams

Jit has launched a new set of AI agents designed to assist security teams in managing the challenges posed by AI-generated code, announced in a press release. These AI agents are intended to automate and accelerate various security tasks, including risk assessment, threat modeling, and compliance reporting.

The introduction of these agents comes as AI code-generation tools have significantly increased development speed, with reports indicating a 70% acceleration. However, 30% of this code contains security flaws, creating a backlog of vulnerabilities for security teams to address. Jit's AI agents aim to bridge this gap by offloading tedious tasks from Application Security (AppSec) teams, allowing them to focus on more critical issues.

Jit's platform integrates these AI agents to provide a comprehensive security solution that aligns with business priorities and service level agreements (SLAs). By leveraging a Company Knowledge Graph, the platform offers a context-rich understanding of security risks, enabling more effective prioritization and mitigation efforts. This approach is designed to enhance the productivity of security teams, allowing them to keep pace with the rapid introduction of new risks in AI-driven development environments.
