AI Trust in Action: How Snyk Agent Redefines Secure Development

Jun 2, 2025 By Brendan Hann In Snyk
One word defines success or failure in the race to adopt AI in security workflows: trust. While the industry moves fast toward automation and autonomy, adoption often stalls when developers and the teams supporting them can’t trust what the AI delivers.

Nowhere is that skepticism more justified than in security.
