AI coding assistants are transforming software development. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot—these tools write code, execute commands, and interact with external systems autonomously. They make developers dramatically more productive. They also introduce security risks that traditional DevSecOps never anticipated. Before The Commit is the first comprehensive guide to securing AI-assisted development.

AI is writing your code. Who's watching the AI? Before The Commit explores AI coding security, emerging threats, and the trends reshaping software development. Hosts Danny Gershman and Dustin Hilgaertner break down threat models, prompt injection, shadow AI, and practical defenses — drawing from experience across defense, fintech, and enterprise environments. Companion to the book Before The Commit: Securing AI in the Age of Autonomous Code. No hype, just tactical insight for developers, security engineers, and leaders building in the AI era.
