Log4j, solar winds, tesla hacks, and the wave of high profile appsec problems aren’t going to go away with current approaches like SAST and SCA. Why? They are:
-40 years old, with little innovation
-Haven’t solved the problem.
In this segment, we talk about fully autonomous application security. Vetted by DARPA in the Cyber Grand Challenge, the approach is different:
-Prove bugs, rather than trying to list all of them.
-Zero false positives, which leads to better autonomy.
