TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The article discusses the convergence of three significant challenges in software security, likening them to the unpredictable nature of the three-body problem in physics. AI-generated code is introducing a high volume of vulnerabilities, while supply chain attacks are increasing dramatically, and the security talent pool is shrinking. Together, these forces create a chaotic environment that the industry has not faced before.

Key facts

▪AI-generated code is responsible for 46% of all code on GitHub, with a significant portion containing vulnerabilities.
▪Supply chain attacks have surged by 1,300% over three years, affecting thousands of repositories and leading to severe security incidents.
▪The security talent pipeline is collapsing, with junior hiring down 73% and 88% of organizations experiencing significant incidents due to skills shortages.

You can model any two of them. The moment you add the third, the math breaks. Small changes in initial conditions produce wildly different outcomes.
