SAST Is Dead: Program Analysis for AI Agents (sponsored by Semgrep) (SEC228-S)

December 3rd, 2026
11:30 am - 11:50 am PST

Global Impact Zone, The Venetian

LLMs didn't kill security testing, they exposed tools that guess at context they don't have. This talk explains what we learned by reinventing program analysis for new end users: builders and agents. We had to develop benchmarks and add determinism with program slicing to better control costs and deliver the optimal price per true vulnerability detected. This presentation is brought to you by Semgrep, an AWS Partner.
