Two decades of steering cybersecurity through tectonic shifts—from building foundational defenses at Palo Alto Networks under Nir Zuk, to tackling cloud-native complexities at Aqua Security, to now charting Archipelo’s course—have crystallized a truth: the most critical risks emerge where innovation outpaces control. Today, that frontier is the developer ecosystem, turbocharged by AI. With over 75% of developers wielding AI-assisted coding tools (JetBrains, 2024), software delivery has hit warp speed. Yet, the shadow side is stark: 40% of that AI-generated code harbors vulnerabilities (Forbes, 2025)—flaws that traditional security, tethered to post-deployment fixes, isn’t built to intercept.
