Palo Alto Networks interviews
Palo Alto Networks interviewsProving a finding
“For 2,776 of the downstream exposures, the pipeline validated exploitability from the downstream application with a working PoC.”

“Candidate findings are not accepted just because a model reports them.”

Not accepted on a model’s word
Does this result prove an access-control flaw? Practise the check.
ExamplePrioritising by exposure
“For defenders, prioritization cannot depend only on project size or direct deployment. It must also account for where the code is used.”
Xu ZouUnit 42, Palo Alto Networks
Detection and its gaps
“A single model asked to find vulnerabilities will produce too much noise and still miss important parts of the codebase or entire vulnerability classes.”

What AI changes
“Our experience with NOVA highlights a clear structural change: the patch window has collapsed.”
Xu ZouUnit 42, Palo Alto Networks
“And attackers need not have access to the latest frontier AI model to reverse engineer patches and develop exploits automatically.”
