What happened
A Snyk blog feed highlighting several AI+security trends: LLMs are making millions of abandoned open‑source packages easier to discover and reuse—resurrecting a “dormant majority” and increasing software supply‑chain risk; organizations need package‑health intelligence and stronger supply‑chain hygiene. A new practitioner role, the AI Security Engineer, is emerging to secure AI‑native systems and integrate security into autonomous development workflows. Snyk announces a partnership with the uv ecosystem to provide high‑performance, native secure package management for Python AI development. S2
