  • SOC/IR — Skip
  • Leader — Plan: If your engineering teams are adopting AI coding assistants, this report’s doubling of credential exposure rates warrants establishing or tightening AI tool policies and mandatory secrets-scanning requirements this quarter before an exposed credential becomes a breach.
