There's growing confusion in cloud security about what AI-assisted tools can do. Some of the confusion comes from inflated claims about AI-powered vulnerability discovery. Some comes from genuine uncertainty about where different tools fit. But most of it comes from treating security as one problem when it's actually two. The two problems require fundamentally different approaches. Before evaluating any tool, separate the problems. Two classes of security problems Class 1: Pattern Recognizable Problems SQL injection is a vulnerability regardless of the operator. Unsanitized user input concatenated into a SQL query is dangerous in every application, every deployment, every organization. The operator's intent doesn't change the verdict. Nobody intends for their application to be injectable. The same applies to XSS, buffer overflows, command injection, insecure deserialization, and most of the OWASP Top 10 for web applications. These are universal patterns.…
