Business logic flaws require human judgment that AI cannot provide.
AI AppSec layers filter noise and speed triage, but humans stay essential for logic flaws.
AI-assisted analysis finds the exploitable vulnerabilities attackers actually want to compromise.
AI agents handle continuous testing where annual pen tests leave months of code untested.
Exploit-path tracing replaces signature matching with proof of actual exploitability.
Tracing untrusted data through code reveals exploits that pattern matching misses.
Security tools go blind at library boundaries, letting vulnerabilities slip through undetected.
Machines can't replace human judgment when vulnerabilities hide in real-world complexity.
Single-file scanners miss the real vulnerabilities; cross-file analysis catches them.
