1. The Problem: The Brutal Compromise
Modern engineering teams are forced into a toxic trade-off: ship code fast and risk devastating security breaches, or conduct grueling manual code audits and kill product momentum. Every single day, hardcoded API keys, SQL injections, and complex CORS misconfigurations slip past human code reviews. These aren't just bugs; they are ticking time bombs in production. The anxiety of deployment day is a real bottleneck, and manual security reviews are simply no longer scalable.
