Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 4/21

Insight #1

"Recent research shows that code written with AI assistance is more insecure. It’s time we get in front of this and make sure code written by AI is scrutinized just as code written by humans is."
 

Insight #2

"Lots of discussion on agent vs agentless cloud workload security. Agentless can only cover so much and sometimes provides a false sense of security."
 

Insight #3

"Can we move out of the "more is better" mindset in security? The "accurate is better" era is here. We can't continue the false positive barrage or risk losing all our security and development teams."
