Software weaponization & DevSecOps shifts

Key Questions

How are nation-states using software vulnerabilities as weapons?

Nation-states are stockpiling vulnerabilities for offensive operations rather than defensive patching. This shifts the threat landscape toward weaponized exploits.

What gaps exist in current DevSecOps practices for runtime security?

Runtime visibility and SBOM coverage remain insufficient against production threats. Teams are moving toward production-aware defense strategies.

How is AI changing the industrialization of cybercrime?

AI is accelerating cybercrime through automated attacks and vulnerability discovery. Defenders must adapt with more proactive and integrated security measures.

Nation-states stockpiling vulns as weapons; runtime visibility/SBOM gaps; move to production-aware defenses. Status developing.
