Risk, Return, and Remediation: An Investment Strategy for Application Security
Brief
Don’t Put All Your Code in One Basket .
Every seasoned investor knows to never put your money behind a single asset. A successful investment strategy is diverse.
No one puts all their money in stocks: markets correct. Real estate goes through cycles of boom and bust. Cash may feel safe, but inflation erodes its value over time. Having different investment assets helps offset volatility, so your portfolio as a whole stays resilient, even if that meme coin you bought on a whim takes a nosedive.
The same principle of diversification applies to our work in application security. Staying ahead of emerging threats and bad actors in the era of AI-generated code demands more than a single line of defense. It requires a layered, deterministic, and probabilistic approach. Each approach has limits on its own. Together, they work like a diversified portfolio.
