Key points
- If that pace holds, within the next two years, most of the code pushed to GitHub could be written by an agent.
- If developers and agents move faster, we have a responsibility to ensure protection keeps up with the accelerated rate of code creation.
- The tools that let developers create more software should also take on more of the work of protecting it.
- I also introduce the fine-tuned classifier we built with Microsoft Applied Sciences to extend push protection to unstructured secrets.
