In this episode, we talk to Surag Patel (CEO @ Pixee) and Arshan Dabirsiaghi (CTO @ Pixee). We discuss the transformative approach that Pixee is taking in application security. We explore the shift from traditional security tools that merely detect vulnerabilities to a model that emphasizes automated remediation.

The discussion covers the evolving role of AppSec professionals, the integration of AI agents to scale coverage, the importance of trust in automated fixes, and the challenges of navigating a crowded security market.

We also touch on the future of security in design specifications and the need for a comprehensive approach to security that includes all stakeholders in the software development lifecycle.
