In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated nearly every facet of organizational operations, including departments such as sales, marketing, and human resources. This widespread adoption has empowered departments to develop applications at an unprecedented scale. However, this surge in AI-enabled development has created a significant imbalance, shifting the ratio of developers to security practitioners from 100-to-1 to a staggering 1,000-to-1. This imbalance poses a critical challenge for security leaders, as highlighted by Ami Luttwak, co-founder and chief technology officer at Wiz.

Luttwak emphasizes the importance of fostering a culture of trust between security, development, and engineering teams. This alignment is crucial to ensure that all teams are synchronized and aware of the core concerns surrounding data visibility and security. The rapid pace of application development, propelled by AI, has made it increasingly difficult for security teams to maintain visibility and safeguard data effectively, without hindering essential business processes.

AI’s introduction has brought about an efficiency and speed that organizations have never seen before, challenging security teams to keep up with the ‘speed of AI.’ As businesses continue to rely on AI for operational efficiency, security teams face the daunting task of ensuring data security without the luxury of pausing business activities for cybersecurity purposes.

In a recent interview during the RSAC Conference 2025 with Information Security Media Group, Luttwak elaborated on several key areas. He discussed Wiz’s strategic positioning as a leader in the competitive cloud security space, strategies for vendors to address diverse security needs without adding unnecessary complexity, and the critical role of visibility in securing enterprise applications.

With over 15 years of experience in information security, Luttwak has established himself as an authority in cloud security, covering infrastructure, networks, and application development. Before co-founding Wiz, he served as the CTO of Adallom, a prominent cloud access security broker that was acquired by Microsoft in 2015. His expertise has been recognized in esteemed publications like Forbes, further cementing his status as a thought leader in the cybersecurity arena.
