Financial services giant Capital One has released an internally developed AI-powered security tool to the public as open source.
Dubbed “VulnHunter”, the tool was designed to find and fix software vulnerabilities at the code level, but Capital One says it is not a traditional, passive vulnerability scanner.
“We designed VulnHunter with a developer-first mindset to solve a massive industry pain point: overwhelming false positives that create friction and slow down daily workflows,” Chris Nims, EVP & Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Capital One, explained in a LinkedIn post.
