10x your AppSec program with Semgrep Assistant

Semgrep has launched its AI-powered Semgrep Assistant, designed to enhance productivity for application security (AppSec) engineers by providing automated support in prioritization, triage, and remediation of security findings. Aimed at amplifying the efficiency of security teams, Semgrep Assistant offers features such as auto-triage to identify false positives, auto-fix recommendations for true positives, and a beta feature for custom rule-writing, all of which help developers understand and address vulnerabilities more effectively. The Assistant also introduces a priority inbox to highlight key issues and synthesizes data across workflows to provide actionable recommendations and policies. By leveraging AI's contextual understanding of code, Semgrep Assistant aims to be an indispensable tool that enables under-resourced teams to implement custom rules and refine security practices, while maintaining transparency and ease of use in their core analysis engine.
