Shipping More AI Code Than You Can Secure? Watch How to Control Remediation Debt

Summary: ActiveState surveyed 300 security and engineering leaders across technology, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government on how AI coding tools introduce open-source dependencies faster than teams can review them.
