The rise of AI assisted and AI native development has introduced entirely new security blind spots. AI coding agents, MCP servers, LLMs, and automated workflows now participate directly in software creation, generating both unprecedented efficiency and unprecedented risk. Organizations need guardrails that understand this new development ecosystem and can prevent issues as they emerge, rather than months later in testing. Backslash addresses this emerging issue by enabling security teams to see, govern, and secure the AI driven aspects of the full development lifecycle, so AI innovation doesn’t come at the cost of security.
Backslash’s platform capabilities allow organizations to confidently adopt AI accelerated engineering while protecting both their applications and their software supply chain. This includes:
Hardening configurations across AI coding agents, IDEs, MCP servers, and LLM powered workflows.
Applying secure prompt rules that prevent insecure or risky AI generated actions before they occur.
Continuously evaluating risks introduced during AI assisted coding so vulnerabilities are caught the moment code is created.
Validating MCP servers in real time to ensure they operate securely.
"Artificial intelligence is reshaping products across the technology landscape, often in surprising ways," said Executive Editor Doug Dineley, InfoWorld. "Our 2025 Technology of the Year Award winners are the products at the leading edge of innovation — the ones putting the power of AI to practical use for enterprises."
This recognition from InfoWorld affirms Backslash Security’s forward-looking strategy and caps off a banner year for the company. Most recently, the company launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Security Solution to secure the use of MCP servers across modern software development environments.
