I feel we're going to have a hard time over the next months with a stream of these "magic tools" to solve already solved problems and try to milk some money out off managers who got no clue.

Static analysis paired with AI is the middle ground that makes sense to me (working in a similar security space). But the hard part needs to be regular computer science and the AI comes second.

That strategy has been working for the past 6 or so years.

I would redefine it a bit.

Reliable = deterministic

Accurate? Not at all. Studies show that ~30% of findings are false positive. We've also seen that with the companies we work with because we built a false positive detection feature in Corgea. There's another ~60% of issues that are false negative. https://personal.utdallas.edu/~lxz144130/publications/icst20...

We combine static analysis + LLMs to do better detection, triaging and auto-fixing because static analysis alone is broken in many ways.
