AI Security Scanning Needs Evidence, Not Just More Agents

44+ min ago   (994+ words) Google’s Mantis caught my attention because it points to a problem most AI security demos quietly walk around: finding a vulnerability is not the same as proving one exists. That distinction matters. Security teams already live with noisy scanners, half-useful…...
