Private PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is critical for trusted authentication and secure communication among internal applications, devices, workloads, machines, and services. While most organizations understand its importance, managing it effectively is still a struggle for many. Traditionally, organizations manage private PKI on-premises for greater control, security, and customization. However, as new use cases emerge and […]

I’ve been writing about the possibility of AIs automatically discovering code vulnerabilities since at least 2018. This is an ongoing area of research: AIs doing source code scanning, AIs finding zero-days in the wild, and everything in between. The AIs aren’t very good at it yet, but they’re getting better.
Here’s some anecdotal data from this summer:
Since July 2024, ZeroPath is taking a novel approach combining deep program analysis with adversarial AI agents for validation. Our methodology has uncovered numerous critical vulnerabilities in production systems, including several that traditional Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools were ill-equipped to find. This post provides a technical deep-dive into our research methodology and a living summary of the bugs found in popular open-source tools...
