Why the launch of OX-GPT is a significant advancement for AppSec?

OX Security launches OX-GPT technology to enhance software supply chain security

OX Security, a leading software supply chain security provider, has recently announced the launch of OX-GPT, a chatbot technology that underscores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in safeguarding against cyber-attacks. This is the first ChatGPT integration of its kind to offer customised codes for effective remediation of critical security issues across the software supply chain.

Revolutionising cybersecurity with ChatGPT

ChatGPT has transformed the cybersecurity landscape in recent times. Over the past few months, hackers have begun using ChatGPT and other AI models to locate vulnerabilities, develop malware, and create phishing emails. However, AI offers the potential to protect against cyber-attacks, and OX Security is the first to leverage ChatGPT to enhance software supply chain security.

The need for OX-GPT technology

Previously, security teams needed multiple tools to secure the software supply chain, which often led to fragmented workflows and overwhelming alerts that resulted in loss of trust in the security process. OX-GPT provides developers with customised fix recommendations and cut-and-paste code fixes that enable the rapid remediation of critical security issues across the software supply chain. OX-GPT also gives developers control over security and provides them with information and tools to quickly and efficiently assess and resolve issues.

Trust and security in software development

At times, developers lack adequate security skills, and their main focus may not be on security. OX Security‘s CEO and co-founder, Neatsun Ziv, states that gaining developers’ trust and providing them with the required tools and information to remediate risks will save them from going into crisis mode later. OX-GPT technology enables organizations to thwart attackers and makes security an integral part of the software development process, not an afterthought.

Conclusion and advice for IT firms

The launch of the OX-GPT technology offers hope for organizations that require high-level cybersecurity solutions. However, it is expedient for companies not to depend on advanced solutions alone. To prevent cyber-attacks, firms need to mitigate security risks at every level with a profound sense of vigilance and a strong culture of cybersecurity. Organizations should prioritise training developers in cybersecurity skills and implement top-notch security measures for the safety of their businesses.
