Securing Vibe Coding and AI Coding Agents: An End-to-End Approach with StepSecurity

AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot now operate across the full software development lifecycle — developer machines, code repositories, and CI/CD pipelines — creating a multi-stage attack surface. Real-world attacks like the Shai-Hulud npm campaign and NX Build System compromise demonstrate that single-stage security solutions leave critical gaps. StepSecurity positions itself as an end-to-end platform covering all three stages: Developer MDM for local environment security (AI agent discovery, MCP server visibility, IDE extension governance, npm monitoring), NPM Supply Chain Security for repository-level defense (cooldown policies, PR-level blocking, org-wide package search), and Harden-Runner for CI/CD runtime monitoring (network egress enforcement, behavioral baseline detection, process attribution in GitHub Actions).
