AI-Era Infrastructure Risk Review
AI-assisted delivery did not just speed up how code gets written — it changed where production risk actually lives. Coding agents, CI/CD automation, self-hosted runners, secrets stores, and SaaS integrations can now change what reaches production, often with permissions nobody fully inventoried and review practices that assume a human typed every line. This review is a focused look at that blast radius: where AI and automation can quietly change outcomes, and where your current controls assume a world that no longer exists.
It is not an AI-hype session and it is not a tooling pitch. It is an operator's read on the new control plane — the developer toolchain, the automation, and the integrations that have accumulated the ability to affect production — and a clear account of where the gaps are. You walk away knowing which of those gaps are urgent, which are tolerable, and what a sane governance posture looks like before an auditor or an incident finds them for you.
