AppSec has always emphasized techniques and tools for discovering vulns, along with taxonomies and lists for describing them. But just piling up more CVEs into a prioritized patching queue has never been an effective strategy. Nidhi Aggarwal talks about some of the economics and decisions that orgs evaluate when figuring out how to improve and protect their software. LLMs might be effective assistants in generating code, but only when they have the context of secure patterns to follow. We also talk about what some of the bug bounty data reveals in terms of successful researchers finding more impactful vulns and why the combination of domain expertise and curiosity remains profitable.
Segment Resources
Vulnerability discovery and remediation gap in the AI era
AI-generated code is changing how vulnerabilities are created, discovered, and managed. This segment explores why finding more vulnerabilities doesn’t necessarily mean reducing exposure, how teams can validate exploitability and prioritize real risk, and where agentic AI can support defenders without replacing human security expertise. It also looks at what continuous threat exposure management means for enterprise security teams in practice.

Bugcrowd Launches Pathseeker: Flipping the Script on Traditional Pentesting: Black Hat Interview with Braden Russell, CTO of Bugcrowd
Bugcrowd is launching Savant Pathseeker, the first product in its new Agentic Offensive Testing line, which combines continuous agentic pentesting with on-demand human validation. The launch comes as the security industry grapples with a growing "AI slop" problem, where unchecked AI-generated vulnerability reports have overwhelmed bug bounty programs and even forced some, like Curl, to shut theirs down. Braden will unpack how Bugcrowd is positioning Savant Pathseeker as a response to that industry-wide trust problem, not just a new product launch.
