Chief Scientist Emeritus Fabian Yamaguchi and foundational Code Property Graph technology recognized with IEEE Test of Time Award

Qwiet AI and the ancient Greek physicians like the father of medicine Hippocrates have much in common. Hippocrates highlighted the significance of a healthy diet and lifestyle in preventing diseases and acknowledged the root cause of physical and psychological ailments as diet and lifestyle choices (Διαιτήμασί in Greek), and now Qwiet AI is delivering his ultimate truth in the digital world with true cyberattack prevention.

Delivering on a near two year promise by us when I took over as CEO in 2022 to apply predictive (and now generative) AI to the world of AppSec and source code, Qwiet AI is now providing real time detection of security vulnerabilities in code along with the best AI generated fixes to aid developers in finding and fixing their code without having to read every one of my hacking books – allowing them to get back to coding.

Critical Difference: the code property graph (CPG)

Imagine a world where developers code freely (either organically or with the help of a code copilot system) and are offered fixes to their code based on the standards and best practices of your organization. Many companies like GitHub are beginning to offer access to code generative AI models like ChatGPT but what differentiates Qwiet from every other AppSec provider that can potentially provide AutoFix suggestions to their users is our secret weapon: the Code Property Graph (CPG).

Qwiet’s AI’s CPG allows us to understand code holistically from a layered graph perspective to get 1) true performance (minutes instead of hours), 2) fidelity, finding more real vulnerabilities rather than false ones, 3) reachability, giving a developer-centric view of the discovery to understand if the vulnerable function or method can be reached in their code from an attacker controlled perspective, and 4) exploitability, with Qwiet’s threat intelligence link to give real world perspective on the threat itself in the wild. Along with Qwiet AI’s predictive models on Java and C#, together we offer the world’s best AI solution to code security on the market today. Period.

“Heal thyself”

Hippocrates once said, “The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.” Qwiet AI embodies this philosophy by empowering developers to harness their own skills and knowledge to create software that is inherently secure. By providing them with the right tools and insights, Qwiet AI enables developers to become the architects of their own digital well-being, building applications that are resilient against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.

By providing developers with cutting-edge tools and real-time feedback, Qwiet AI enables them to identify and rectify coding flaws as they write, effectively preventing security breaches before they are birthed and behind the scenes of the developer’s flow. Imagine a world where developers have the virtual Hippocrates by their side, guiding them towards writing clean and secure code. Qwiet AI’s innovative AI AutoFix platform acts as that guiding light, analyzing code in real-time and offering intelligent suggestions to optimize and secure your code. It’s like having a personal code doctor who diagnoses and treats potential issues before they manifest into full-blown cyberattacks.

In the realm of cybersecurity, prevention is always better than cure. Just as Hippocrates emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to avoid illnesses, Qwiet AI focuses on the preventive aspect of software development. By catching and fixing vulnerabilities early in the development process, Qwiet AI helps organizations avoid the costly and damaging consequences of cyberattacks. It’s like having a robust immune system that fights off potential threats before they can take hold.

Learning from our mistakes: preventing 100% of cyber attacks

From the early days of my career in cybersecurity, with countless articles in InfoWorld and my hacking books Hacking Exposed and Web Hacking, we know how the adversaries work, the vulnerabilities they target and most importantly, we know how to prevent these attacks. When you have this knowledge you will most likely believe, like I do, that 100% of cyberattacks come from (known or unknown) cybersecurity flaws or gaps in features of code (use of encryption, MFA, etc). And then you will see our vision here at Qwiet: prevention is not just possible but now absolutely probable. Today, I am more excited about our cybersecurity future than ever before.

The future of cybersecurity lies in the hands of companies like Qwiet AI, who are revolutionizing the way software is being developed. By targeting the root of the problem – the code – and providing developers with the tools and insights they need to create secure applications from the ground up, Qwiet AI is paving the way for a future where cyberattacks become a thing of the past. Just as Hippocrates’s teachings on diet and lifestyle have stood the test of time, Qwiet AI’s approach to code-level security will become the gold standard in the industry.

“Deaytimasy”, our promise in the AutoFix movement

Qwiet AI is at the forefront of this AI AutoFix movement, empowering developers to become the guardians of the world’s digital health. By embracing the wisdom of Hippocrates and applying it to the realm of software development, Qwiet AI is not just changing the game – it’s redefining the rules of engagement. The future is here, and it’s being built one secure line of code at a time. Repeat after me: “I will apply dietetic and lifestyle measures (Διαιτήμασί, pronounced “deaytimasy”) to help the sick to my best ability and judgment; I will protect them from harm and injustice.” Hippocrates.

About Qwiet AI

Qwiet AI empowers developers and AppSec teams to dramatically reduce risk by quickly finding and fixing the vulnerabilities most likely to reach their applications and ignoring reported vulnerabilities that pose little risk. Industry-leading accuracy allows developers to focus on security fixes that matter and improve code velocity while enabling AppSec engineers to shift security left.

A unified code security platform, Qwiet AI scans for attack context across custom code, APIs, OSS, containers, internal microservices, and first-party business logic by combining results of the company’s and Intelligent Software Composition Analysis (SCA). Using its unique graph database that combines code attributes and analyzes actual attack paths based on real application architecture, Qwiet AI then provides detailed guidance on risk remediation within existing development workflows and tooling. Teams that use Qwiet AI ship more secure code, faster. Backed by SYN Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Blackstone, Mayfield, Thomvest Ventures, and SineWave Ventures, Qwiet AI is based in Santa Clara, California. For information, visit: https://qwiet.ai
