“We can use AI in that process as well,” Koppen says, noting how AI has helped Equifax perform code review earlier in the design process, ensuring adequate guardrails are built in and reducing the time that process takes.
“It used to be 46 days and now we’re down to 18,” Koppen says. “It’s great to be able to save that time but have a result that we’ve verified with a human in the loop and with the security guardrails.”
Overall, according to the company’s annual security report, security consult times are down by 61%, and Equifax’s AI agents analyze container vulnerabilities and automatically write the code fixes. The system is now handling more than 213,000 findings annually without slowing down delivery.
