AI is changing how modern teams build software — but few have figured out how to move fast and stay secure. Cursor is one of them. Cursor's engineers ship to production everyday, powered by AI copilots, automated threat modeling, and a security culture that scales with innovation. In this episode, our CEO Shruti Gupta sits down with Travis McPeak from Cursor to unpack what it takes to build securely in an AI-native world. You’ll hear how Cursor: 🔹 Uses AI copilots and agents to review, test, and harden code in real time 🔹 Embeds security directly into the developer workflow 🔹 Automates threat modeling and compliance at scale 🔹 Defines a new model for “secure by design” in AI-native engineering 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/efmMCW6a

Our own Aidan Collins will present on this with Joe Oringel at WCARS - don't miss it! #WCARS #Rutgers #AIinAudit #GRC

Beyond excited for NEA to lead Zania’s Series A. Shruti Gupta is an exceptional founder with a comprehensive vision around building agents for enterprise cybersecurity governance risk & compliance (GRC) having led teams across Microsoft, Instacart, Brex, and Airbnb.
