Your vibe-coded apps are a ticking time bomb for your business. Here's how to secure them.

Vibe coding—creating working software through prompts—can bypass normal security controls, turning “apps” built in minutes into potential exposures. A survey of 307 CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs found only 5% are very confident they have full visibility into internal tools across their organizations. Meanwhile, 60% of tool builders said they created something outside IT oversight in the past year. The article describes scenarios where internal users publish prompt-built apps via public links that can be indexed quickly by Google before IT even knows they exist. Leaders also report limited governance for AI-generated code, making security a board-level issue.
