Using AI Agents to Solve Cloud Vulnerability Overload

In this episode, Ashish Rajan talks with Harry Wetherald, Co-Founder & CEO of Maze, about the reality of modern vulnerability management. They explore why current tools like CNAPPs can generate up to 90% false positives and how AI agents can provide a real solution by thinking like a security engineer to identify genuine, exploitable threats. Learn about the challenges of building your own AI solutions and how this new approach can eliminate noise and build trust between security and engineering team
