What happened
Snyk posts advocating a shift in application security for AI-generated code: static analysis alone is insufficient and must be paired with offensive dynamic testing to find what’s actually exploitable. The blog highlights that a large portion of LLM-generated code tests insecure (cited ~62%), warns that AI agents and undocumented APIs expand the attack surface, and outlines Snyk initiatives—AI-powered dynamic testing, a San Francisco innovation hub, and a partnership with Tessl to apply Snyk security scoring to the Agent Skills Registry.
