This MSSP Alert commentary argues AI is turning many more employees into software builders, whether they think of themselves that way or not. People can now create applications, connect systems and build agents without going through the usual engineering process.
That means security teams have considerably more to watch and far less visibility into what exists.
The article covers the resulting challenges around visibility, access and governance. For MSSPs, it frames the shift as both a risk to manage and a service opportunity.
