Over the last several weeks, critical flaws in fundamental technologies like PHP, Node, and Linux, the widespread automated exploitations of those bugs, and multiple breaches of important platforms have rocked the security world.

This is likely just the start of a period of extreme risk for enterprises, governments, small businesses and individuals as attackers take advantage of AI.

Join Alex Stamos as he both walks through Cognition’s approach and shares what organizations should change going forward.

What we’ll cover

- How to understand and limit your attack surface
- Why teams actively refactoring their applications had an easier week
- Automating the patch workflow: inventory, approval, verified patches, tests, one PR per repo
- How Cognition uses Devin to secure ourselves
