AI security scanning needs evidence, not just agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's Mantis system highlights a critical issue in AI security scanning: the distinction between identifying a potential vulnerability and proving its existence. Current AI security tools often generate noisy, unverified alerts, and simply adding an LLM can exacerbate this by producing more elaborate, yet still incorrect, interruptions. The true value lies in structuring AI workflows with grounding mechanisms like repository context, threat models, and evidence-based reproduction steps, rather than treating AI as a black box. AI

    AI Security Scanning Needs Evidence, Not Just More Agents

    <p>Google’s Mantis caught my attention because it points to a problem most AI security demos quietly walk around: <code>finding a vulnerability is not the same as proving one exists.</code> </p> <p>That distinction matters. Security teams already live with noisy scanners, half-us…
