This ebook traces the evolution of AppSec from DevSecOps to shift left and then to Secure at Inception. It explains that shift left improved software security by bringing testing earlier into CI/CD, but AI-assisted development has disrupted that linear model by generating, editing, and deploying code in real time. Because code can now change continuously across assistants and agents, security must move even closer to the source and become part of creation itself. The guide presents Snyk Studio as the vehicle for that change, embedding security engines directly into AI-native workflows, enabling real-time prevention, and pairing that with intelligent remediation of existing backlog. It also stresses governance: policy pinning, verified sources, centralized visibility, AI-BOM generation, run
