In this episode we sit down with Amir Kessler and Aviram Shmueli of AppSec innovator Jit to dive into the complexities of the modern AppSec landscape and explore the emerging Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) ecosystem.
- First off, for folks not familiar with your backgrounds, can you tell us a bit about both of your backgrounds and how you got to the roles you're in now?
- We're seeing a ton of interest in the topic of ASPM in the AppSec space. What do you think has led to this emerging category and what key problems is it looking to solve?
- I know your team puts a big emphasis on not just the tech but also the DexEx and UX. Why is this so critical to address AppSec risks and securing organizations and their code?
- While there is value in ASPM platforms, many Dev teams and engineers are opinionated about their tools, how important is this flexibility and extensibility in the platform that the Jit team has built?
- A key challenge includes vulnerability overload. Teams drowning in massive vulnerability backlogs and trying to add vulnerability context and focus on the most relevant risks for developers. How does Jit approach this?
- Not all ASPM platforms are the same, but we see many vendors rallying around the category. What do you think makes Jit unique and differentiates what the team has built?

Resilient Cyber: Ravid Circus - Tackling the Prioritization Crisis in Cyber 23:02

5 weeks ago23:02

23:02

In this episode, we sit down with the Co-Founder and CPO of Seemplicity , Ravid Circus , to discuss tackling the prioritization crisis in cybersecurity and how AI is changing vulnerability management. We dove into a lot of great topics, including: The massive challenge of not just finding and managing vulnerabilities but also remediation, with Seemplicity’s Year in Review report finding organizations face 48.6 million vulnerabilities annually and only 1.7 % of them are critical. That still means hundreds of thousands to millions of vulnerabilities need to be remedied - and organizations struggle with this, even with the context of what to prioritize. There’s a lot of excitement around AI in Cyber, including in GRC, SecOps, and, of course, AppSec and vulnerability management. How do you discern between what is hype and what can provide real outcomes? What practical steps can teams take to bridge the gap between AI’s ability to find problems and security teams’ ability to fix them? One of the major issues is determining who is responsible for fixing findings in the space of Remediation Operations, where Seemplicity specializes. Ravid talks about how, both technically and culturally, Seemplicity addresses this challenge of finding the fixer. What lies ahead for Seemplicity this year with RSA and beyond…

In this episode, we sit down with Varun Badhwar , Founder and CEO of Endor Labs , to discuss the state of AI for AppSec and move beyond the buzzwords. We discussed the rapid adoption of AI-driven development, its implications for AppSec, and how AppSec can leverage AI to address longstanding challenges and mitigate organizational risks at scale. Varun and I dove into a lot of great topics, such as: The rise of GenAI and LLMs and their broad implications on Cybersecurity The dominant use case of AI-driven development with Copilots and LLM written code, leading to a Developer productivity boost. AppSec has struggled to keep up historically, with vulnerability backlogs getting out of control. What will the future look like now? Studies show that AI-driven development and Copilots don’t inherently produce secure code, and frontier models are primarily trained on open source software, which has vulnerabilities and other risks. What are the implications of this for AppSec? How can AppSec and Cyber leverage AI and agentic workflows to address systemic security challenges? Developers and attackers are both early adopters of this technology. Navigating vulnerability prioritization, dealing with insecure design decisions and addressing factors such as transitive dependencies. The importance of integrating with developer workflows, reducing cognitive disruption and avoiding imposing a “Developer Tax” with legacy processes and tooling from security.…

In this episode, we sit down with David Melamed and Shai Horovitz of the Jit team. We discussed Agentic AI for AppSec and how security teams use it to get real work done. We covered a lot of key topics, including: What some of the systemic problems facing AppSec are, even before the widespread adoption of AI, such as vulnerability prioritization, security technical debt and being outnumbered exponentially by Developers. The surge of interest and investment in AI and agentic workflows for AppSec, and why AppSec is an appealing space for this sort of investment and excitement. How the prior wave of AppSec tooling was focused on findings problems, riding the wave of shift left but how this has led to alert fatigue and overload, and how the next-era of AppSec tools will need to focus on not just finding but actually fixing problems. Some of the unique capabilities and features the Jit team has been working on, such as purpose-built agents in areas such as SecOps, AppSec and Compliance, as well as context-graphs with organizational insights to drive effective remediation. The role of Agentic AI and how it will help tackle some of the systemic challenges in the AppSec industry.

32:13

In this episode, we sit with security leader and venture investor Sergej Epp to discuss the Cloud-native Security Landscape. Sergej currently serves as the Global CISO and Executive at Cloud Security leader Sysdig and is a Venture Partner at Picus Capital. We will dive into some insights from Sysdig's recent " 2025 Cloud-native Security and Usage Report ." Big shout out to our episode sponsor, Yubico ! Passwords aren’t enough. Cyber threats are evolving, and attackers bypass weak authentication every day. YubiKeys provides phishing-resistant security for individuals and businesses—fast, frictionless, and passwordless. Upgrade your security: https://yubico.com Sergj and I dove into a lot of great topics related to Cloud-native Security, including: Some of the key trends in the latest Sysdig 2025 Cloud-native Security Report and trends that have stayed consistent YoY. Sergj points out that while attackers have stayed consistent, organizations have and continue to make improvements to their security Sergj elaborated on his current role as Sysdig’s internal CISO and his prior role as a field CISO and the differences between the two roles in terms of how you interact with your organization, customers, and the community. We unpacked the need for automated Incident Response, touching on how modern cloud-native attacks can happen in as little as 10 minutes and how organizations can and do struggle without sufficient visibility and the ability to automate their incident response. The report points out that machine identities, or Non-Human Identities (NHI), are 7.5 times riskier than human identities and that there are 40,000 times more of them to manage. This is a massive problem and gap for the industry, and Sergj and I walked through why this is a challenge and its potential risks. Vulnerability prioritization continues to be crucial, with the latest Sysdig report showing that just 6% of vulnerabilities are “in-use”, or reachable. Still, container bloat has ballooned, quintupling in the last year alone. This presents real problems as organizations continue to expand their attack surface with expanded open-source usage but struggle to determine what vulnerabilities truly present risks and need to be addressed. We covered the challenges with compliance, as organizations wrestle with multiple disparate compliance frameworks, and how compliance can drive better security but also can have inverse impacts when written poorly or not keeping pace with technologies and threats. We rounded out the conversation with discussing AI/ML packages and the fact they have grown by 500% when it comes to usage, but organizations have decreased public exposure of AI/ML workloads by 38% since the year prior, showing some improvements are being made to safeguarding AI workloads from risks as well.…

In this episode, we sit down with Investor, Advisor, Board Member, and Cybersecurity Leader Chenxi Wang to discuss the interaction of AI and Cybersecurity, what Agentic AI means for Services-as-a-Software, as well as security in the boardroom Chenxi and I covered a lot of ground, including: When we discuss AI for Cybersecurity, it is usually divided into two categories: AI for Cybersecurity and Securing AI. Chenxi and I walk through the potential for each and which one she finds more interesting at the moment. Chenxi believes LLMs are fundamentally changing the nature of software development, and the industry's current state seems to support that. We discussed what this means for Developers and the cybersecurity implications when LLMs and Copilots create the majority of code and applications. LLMs and GenAI are currently being applied to various cybersecurity areas, such as SecOps, GRC, and AppSec. Chenxi and I unpack which areas AI may have the greatest impact on and the areas we see the most investment and innovation in currently. As mentioned above, there is also the need to secure AI itself, which introduces new attack vectors, such as supply chain attacks, model poisoning, prompt injection, and more. We cover how organizations are currently dealing with these new attack vectors and the potential risks. The biggest buzz of 2025 (and beyond) is Agentic AI or AI Agents, and their potential to disrupt traditional services work represents an outsized portion of cybersecurity spending and revenue. Chenxi envisions a future where Agentic AI and Services-as-a-Software may change what cyber services look like and how cyber activities are conducted within an organization. If you aren’t already following Chenxi Wang on LinkedIn, I strongly recommend you do. I have a lot of connections, but she is someone when I see a post, I am sure to stop and read because she shares a TON of great insights from the boardroom, investment, cyber, startups, AI, and more. I’m thankful to have her on the show to come chat!…
