Datadog CISO Emilio Escobar says intent is now a must-have for AI security solutions: "These agents are trained on existing code, and they have a reward structure. If code is meant to solve the bug, but it gets rewarded on that, it doesn't care if it's doing something else outside of that." "You have to be careful how you prompt these things, but also how it actually interprets your prompt and executes on that. So we have this judge now evaluating the code output of the agents to then make sure that we're doing that." "I did a roundtable last week about agentic security, and the sense that I got from a bunch of the security leaders was a sense of helplessness. Of just waiting for a commercial solution to come in and solve it all." @eaescob @datadoghq(a16z)
