Vibecoding — generating production code from natural-language prompts — accelerates development but also accelerates security risk. When code is generated faster than it can be reviewed, teams ship dependencies, risky defaults, weak secret handling, and happy-path logic they never consciously chose. Ownership becomes fragmented across prompt authors, AI agents, and reviewers, making future fixes costly. The core argument is that AI doesn't break existing security controls, it stress-tests them by dramatically increasing the volume and speed of change. The recommended response is shifting security left: embedding automated guardrails directly into CI/CD workflows so review and policy enforcement scale alongside AI-generated output, rather than treating security as a post-ship concern.
