    We're open-sourcing Sighthound today, our rules-based static security scanner. What makes it special is that it's coded in rust and uses tree-sitter as it's AST making it very fast…

    OpenAI building security tooling is the natural next step after AI-powered code generation, if AI writes the code, AI will need to find and fix the bugs in it too. The interesting …

    Full disclosure, Ahmad, CEO at Corgea. Interesting approach, catching vulns at commit time before CI runs saves cycles. The challenge is always false positive rate at that stage an…

    We completely agree. I would redefine it a bit. We combine static analysis + LLMs to do better detection, triaging and auto-fixing because static analysis alone is broken in many w…
