Vibe coding is here and most organisations are nowhere near ready for what it means for security. In this episode of Secured, Cole Cornford sits down with Patrick Collins and Simon Harloff, founders of Dam Secure, to unpack how AI is reshaping software development and why the old AppSec playbook is not keeping up.
They cover the shift from artisanal to factory model engineering, why skills and agents.md files are less reliable than people think, and why the SaaSpocalypse narrative is mostly a distraction from the work that actually matters. Patrick and Simon also walk through how Dam Secure enforces organisational security rules at plan time, before a single line of AI generated code gets written.
