Abstract

One of the hardest truths about contemporary software is that it rots: dependencies go out of support, vulnerabilities are announced, and APIs break. Keeping up is a huge burden for software teams, and mostly involves rote work and toil, rather than creativity or deep thought. Fortunately, AI-driven software agents are great at toil. They can identify, triage, diagnose, and resolve maintenance problems faster--and often more accurately--than humans engineers. In this talk, we'll explore how you can leverage software agents to resolve CVEs throughout your codebase, and how this can reduce time-to-resolution from months to hours.
