In episode 98 of the Cybersecurity Minute, Chris Hughes discusses a new artificial intelligence (AI) capability from Snyk, which is on Acceleration Economy’s Top 10 Cybersecurity Shortlist.
Highlights
00:35 — Snyk recently introduced a capability called DeepCode AI Fix. Many security practitioners have concerns around the abuse of artificial intelligence (AI) by malicious actors, which are valid. But AI has a lot of promise when it comes to cybersecurity.
01:07 — DeepCode AI Fix is a proprietary AI engine delivering security fixes right to developers’ integrated development environments (IDEs), allowing them to implement some suggested changes with just a single click. Historically, this was an activity that took a lot of manual research. Now, it’s all automated by a proprietary AI engine.
01:58 —This capability by Snyk allows us to shift security left, build security in, and enable developers to automate their typical manual activities. This keeps code from getting into runtime environments, being exposed by malicious actors, and potentially causing a data breach or security incident for an organization.
02:20 —This is an excellent example of leveraging AI to drive down organizational risk, empower developer peers, and put tooling in developers’ hands that can address risk.
