The AI Accountability Mandate: Securing the Software Supply Chain
summary
Organizational strategy focuses on automated guardrails: Sonar runs code and SCA scans to create SBOMs and pass/fail quality gates, JFrog attaches those scan results to build artifacts and enforces policy gates before release. Survey data shows 96% of developers express doubt about AI-generated code and only 48% always verify it. Reported outcomes include 24% fewer vulnerabilities, 12% higher code quality, 18% less rework, and one customer cites $5–6M audit savings after automating evidence collection.
