# Nine in Ten Security Leaders Concerned About AI-Generated Code Risks as Salt Security Launches New Governance Tool

**[IT Security Guru](https://daily.dev/sources/itsecurityguru)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Research from Salt Security finds 90% of security leaders are concerned about risks from AI-generated code, with 67% of organisations reporting widespread AI coding assistant adoption. Key risks include insecure coding patterns and policy misalignment, while manual review processes are struggling to scale. Salt Security is launching Salt Code, a tool that enforces security policies directly within AI coding assistants like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor during code generation rather than after. The platform uses a Posture Governance Engine with pre-built policy packs covering OWASP API Top 10, MCP Security Top 10, and LLM Security Top 10 to address 'security drift' in AI-assisted development.
