Written by: Alex Tselevich, Michael Maturi Introduction Adversarial misuse of AI has increased the risk of data theft and extortion events, because when proprietary source code is exposed, defenders must scramble to identify and patch vulnerabilities while attackers deploy machine-speed AI tools against them. By structuring the analysis process, enforcing skeptical validation steps, and injecting domain-specific human expertise directly into the pipeline, we’ve achieved a leap in efficacy. Comb…
