Paul Shomo’s 7th annual coverage of the RSAC’s startup competition, Innovation Sandbox, is out in DarkReading. In this episode, Paul recaps the show, tells you things you didn’t know about the finalists, some private thoughts from the judges, and highlights a very interesting trend in 2023: automation, ML and software-building tools are creating dangerous attack surfaces, that preoccupy 8 or 9 of this year’s 10 finalists.
Paul discusses Hugh Thompson and Paul Kocher’s quirky humor, how the judges felt about Zama pivoting from broad use of homomorphic encryption to a blockchain focus, and whether the judges meant to make a statement by choosing mostly startups which secure applications built by developers, data scientists or non-technical software builders, as opposed to cybersecurity’s traditional role in defending off-the-shelf software and hardware.
We are entering the 4th industrial revolution of AI and automation, hear how HiddenLayer and Zama secure ML systems. How Pangea, EndorLabs, Relyance AI, and Dazz ensure your software developers are writing secure code. And explore this new world of non-technical business users building API and SaaS integrations with orchestration, generative AI, and how Valence Security and Astrix secure them.
Finally take a look at SafeBase which enables the 3rd party risk process of SBOMs and questionnaires, and AnChain whose Web3 SOC secures blockchain contracts.
