An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
Remember when everyone was concerned about securing open source npm packages and docker images in the cloud-native software supply chain? Since our last coverage of Lineaje back in 2024, they have responded to the agentic AI explosion by providing security and governance controls over an SBOM (software bill-of-materials) that encompasses the enterprise’s AI BOM (AI [software] bill-of-materials).
The software delivery game has changed, as AI coding agents and security automation agents automagically build new software architectures and remediate issues with patches and updates. Very little of the code within these new agent-driven systems is net-new – less than 5 percent. Most of what comprises the agentic application estate is sourced from code and components pulled by developers, and their agents, from github, open source downloads, internal repos, and elsewhere, as well as some newly AI-hallucinated libraries and frameworks.
Enterprises are marching forward with agentic AI development no matter what. We need policies that reduce risk and govern what enters our software portfolio, but we also can’t afford to stymie forward progress.
To answer this concern, Lineaje discovers the layers of an agentic application, comparing this to the organization’s policies and their deep AI kill chain repository to enhance visibility of potential vulnerabilities in the stack. Their autonomous UnifAI policy controller publishes an MCP server with compliance, auditability, “golden state” configurations, and policy guardrails for how agents should safely communicate as future agents and services are sourced and connected.
