Elite AI hackers aren’t born. They’re trained.How Primis Keeps Security from Becoming a Tax on Engineering Velocity
How Simpson Strong-Tie's CISO replaced annual pentest snapshots with continuous application security coverage from Novee — finding what manual tests missed.
Primis is a global video discovery platform — part of IPG and Universal McCann — serving hundreds of digital publishers and over 250 million unique users worldwide with AI-powered video content recommendations and monetization. At that scale, security isn’t a nice-to-have, but neither is anything that slows down a fast-moving R&D team. VP R&D Amir Rudner needed a way to give engineers a clear signal on what actually posed real risk — without burying them in noise or bottlenecking the pace of shipping.
“We serve hundreds of publishers and hundreds of millions of users, so security isn’t optional — but it also can’t slow down our engineering teams. At Primis, security needs to scale with our business while allowing our engineering teams to keep moving fast. Novee gives our R&D team a clear, prioritized view of what’s actually exploitable instead of generating more noise. The ability to incorporate our own test results and use AI to build an attack plan has helped our engineers better understand and prioritize risk. It gives us greater confidence in our security process while allowing development to keep moving fast.”
