DARPA has selected Xint, a winner of the AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), to use AI in securing military messaging applications. The company will examine both source code and compiled binaries to identify vulnerabilities.
The technology is expected to have applications beyond military contexts. Xint's approach could also help commercial organizations strengthen their software security by automating vulnerability detection.
This move underscores the growing interest in applying AI to cybersecurity tasks, particularly in high-stakes environments where human review may be insufficient.
