Local AI becomes security infrastructure.
The next wave of security tooling will move sensitive inference closer to the operator: local, auditable, air-gapped when necessary, and orchestrated through controlled workflows.
Predictions
Working theses on where security, developer platforms, and applied AI go next. Opinionated, and meant to age.
Developer platforms become evidence engines.
Build systems, CI/CD, and observability will converge around provenance: not just what shipped, but why it shipped, who approved it, and what changed.
Agentic automation gets boring before it gets trusted.
The most useful agents will be constrained, logged, reversible, and deeply integrated into existing operational processes.
Security UX becomes a core differentiator.
The best tools will make complex threat, compliance, and infrastructure states legible without dumbing them down.
