Cofounder of $32B Google acquisition warns: ‘AI can help you code and hackers too

As artificial intelligence transforms software development into lightning-fast “vibe coding,” cybersecurity must evolve to match developers’ accelerated pace, according to Wiz cofounder and CTO Ami Luttwak. The Israeli-American cloud security firm, Google’s $32 billion acquisition target, is adapting its approach as AI enables developers to build applications “a hundred times as fast as before.”
“If builders can ‘vibe-code’ an app in an hour, security has to vibe right alongside,” Luttwak told Business Insider. The executive warns that traditional centralized security models cannot keep up with AI-empowered development teams where “a builder can ‘vibe code’ something in one hour” and “there are hundreds of developers to every one security person.”
Security teams overwhelmed by AI development speed
The proliferation of AI coding tools has fundamentally shifted the development landscape, turning “every developer into a feature factory,” Luttwak explained. This transformation creates new challenges for security teams already struggling with limited resources.
“We must forget everything we’ve done until now and approach security very differently,” he emphasized. “It’s not just the number of applications increasing – it’s the number of people in the company who can build stuff.”
Traditional security approaches treated cybersecurity like “a building inspector” model, where developers needed approval before proceeding. This centralized system breaks down when developers can rapidly prototype and deploy applications using AI assistance.
Making security ‘boring but impactful’ work accessible
Luttwak advocates for democratizing security through self-service tools that integrate seamlessly into developers’ workflows. “We say security has to be democratized – self-service. We simplify the complexity so anyone can own security,” he said.
The challenge extends beyond technical solutions to cultural shifts within engineering teams. “Security is mission-critical to a company, and yet it’s seen as second-class within engineering. It’s second-class, but it’s also boring,” Luttwak acknowledged.
His proposed solution: “We need to find a way as an industry to allow you to vibe code, but also vibe security while you do it.” This approach requires designing security tools that are as intuitive and accessible as consumer products like the iPhone, enabling any developer to implement robust security measures without specialized expertise.
