The problem

AI is fundamentally changing how software is built. By 2028, the majority of enterprise developers will rely on AI code assistants, driving a massive increase in code output, and with it a surge in new risks. Meanwhile regulation in Europe and the US is rewriting accountability for software defects, making security business-critical. Yet security teams have little visibility into which AI coding agents, models, and MCP servers are running across their organisation, and can't keep pace with the flood of new tools. The challenge is no longer detecting vulnerabilities, it's letting developers run at the speed of AI while managing risk and staying compliant.

The solution

Backslash secures the entire vibe coding stack and lifecycle, giving security teams real-time visibility into the AI coding agents, LLMs, MCP servers, and skills in use across the organisation. Working with modern IDEs and coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini Code Assist, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot, it enforces secure configuration, file access, and permissions to fence off agentic AI, reduce the attack surface, and prevent malicious behaviour. With Backslash, organisations can safely accelerate their use of AI in software while staying agile and compliant.
