The AXIS Capital security architecture and engineering team wanted to embed security intelligence directly into application and cloud design, minimizing developer friction and reducing time spent managing alerts and backlogs. Traditional manual reviews could not scale to meet the demands of complex cloud environments. Solution The team applied AI to analyse code and cloud configurations, using static application security testing and cloud security posture management capabilities. Uninterrupted scanning within continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines enables proactive risk assessment, identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before code reaches production. AI prioritized the risks based on exploitability and business impact, recommending actionable remediation. AI-generated guidance and fixes were delivered within existing workflows, accelerating remediation and reducing developer friction. Teams also use AI to correlate data across cloud environments to identify architectural weaknesses and surface misconfigurations that are difficult to detect manually. Through ongoing cloud security posture management, AI detects misconfigurations in real-time.
