Existing tools like SAST, DAST, and DLP miss new attack surfaces including prompt injection, model poisoning, inference data leaks, and shadow AI sprawl. The proposed response is architectural: Platform Engineering 2.0 defines four control surfaces — model governance, prompt security, data isolation, and inference audit — embedded at the infrastructure layer rather than the developer layer. AI agents also introduce a new non-human identity class requiring scoped permissions, MCP-compatible APIs, and audit logging. CSOs are urged to engage platform engineering leadership and ensure these controls are platform-wide rather than left to individual teams. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
