A major premise of appsec is figuring out effective ways to answer the question, "What security flaws are in this code?" The nature of the question doesn't really change depending on who or what wrote the code. In other words, LLMs writing code really just means there's mode code to secure. So, what about using LLMs to find security flaws? Just how effective and efficient are they?

We talk with Adrian Sanabria and John Kinsella about the latest appsec articles that show a range of results from finding memory corruption bugs in open source software to spending an inordinate amount of manual effort validating persuasive, but ultimately incorrect, security findings from an LLM.

What if you had enterprise-grade network security protections traveling with your users' laptops? What if it could be built into the laptop, but still stay safe even if the laptop OS and firmware were entirely compromised?

Mathias and his company, Byos have built such a thing, and BOY do we have some questions for him.

Addressing the nuanced, nefarious threats of AI

Sure, we need to worry about AI prompt injection and AI data leakage, but what about the threats to our BRAINS? Seriously, as we start to have daily conversations with this technology, how are they going to shape how we think? What inherent biases in the training, fine tuning, guardrails, or lack of guardrails are going to affect our decisions or how we work?

Wolfgang is concerned about this, so he performed a human/AI experiment. With almost 1000 people partaking in the experiment, the results are sure to be intriguing.

Finally, in the enterprise security news,

1. survey results on how folks are feeling about openclaw
2. some hidden drama discovered in KEV updates
3. some new KEV tools
4. is AI replacing traditional code scanning tools?
5. remote code execution in notepad
6. no, not notepad++, NOTEPAD.EXE
7. you know, the one that ships preinstalled on Windows
8. the RSAC innovation sandbox finalists
9. dealing with legacy vulnerabilities
10. Don't accept OpenClaw Mac Minis from strangers!

All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

Quantum security has gone from being a theoretical idea filed away for some unknown future date to an urgent requirement driven by quantum computing advances and government and industry guidance. The thought of nation-state adversaries with a quantum computer that can conduct harvest-now-decrypt later attacks and forge digital signatures makes the threat more real than ever to executives, who have started to ask security leaders, "Are we quantum safe?"

With Q-day estimates now within 10 years and moving ever closer — and with NIST deprecating existing asymmetric algorithm support in 2030 (and disallowing it entirely by 2035), as well as the increasing nation-state threat — what should security leaders be doing now?

Sandy Carielli, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why technology leaders must work together to prepare for Q-Day. Addressing quantum security requirements is not just a job for the security team. Security, infrastructure, development, emerging tech, risk, and procurement have roles to play in executing a holistic quantum security strategy. Sandy will cover their report, which security leaders should use, to gain executive buy-in and build and execute a quantum security migration plan with stakeholders across the organization.

When it comes to agents and MCPs, the interesting security discussion isn't that they need strong authentication and authorization, but what that authn/z story should look like, where does it get implemented, and who implements it. Dan Moore shares the useful parallels in securing APIs that should be brought into the world of MCPs -- especially because so many are still interacting with APIs.
