The growth of application development, DevOps, containers, and cloud has fueled the growth of application security tools. We now have static analysis, software composition analysis, interactive analysis, dynamic analysis, container scanning, infrastructure as code scanning, and a number of runtime application security products. That’s a lot of testing data, but how do we integrate it […]
The terms machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are way overused terms in our industry. Every vendor seems to have the latest and greatest ML/AI solution to solve your security problem. But when you really dig into the math, there are mathematical models that can actually help us.
