Security Now

Right.

We got the number in the middle of security now yesterday, and Steve was saying-

Mm

... it'll be interesting if the number, if number go up [laughs] or number go down, right? At some point, he says the numbers-

I think, yep, I think we're gonna be looking at three to four X over last year at least, you know.

Yeah.

That's, again, that's thanks to AI, and ag- and again, and I said this yesterday on Security Now, and you said it, and that we should reiterate it, this is- Mm-hmm ... a good thing.

Right.

And then I wonder, dictionary words.

Well, what about a French dictionary? What about a Spanish dictionary? Does that

And I want to talk about vibe coding security debt and other stories.

This one I thought was the most interesting and I heard about it at the end of the latest Security Now podcast, and I looked up the article.

This report says that AI-assisted developers produce commits at three to four times the rate of their peers, but they introduce security vulnerabilities at 10 times the rate, creating a security debt that accumulates faster than organizations can remediate it, which seems very logical.

If you work for a company that writes software, which is practically every company now, then you don't want code as fast as possible, you want good code.
