AISLE released Snapshot, an AI‑powered vulnerability scanner that can run inside private clouds, on‑prem data centres or fully air‑gapped networks.
The startup, founded by former Avast CEO Ondrej Vlcek, says the tool’s AI identified every OpenSSL zero‑day disclosed in 2024. Snapshot processes code and security data locally, so nothing leaves the organisation’s own infrastructure. It is marketed to regulated sectors such as banking and defence, where data cannot be sent to external services.
If the claim holds, enterprises can get rapid, up‑to‑date vulnerability detection without exposing sensitive code to third‑party clouds. That could reduce the attack surface for high‑value targets that currently rely on outsourced scanning.
The trade‑off is added hardware and maintenance overhead, and the need to trust the AI model itself—an extra piece of software to secure in already tight environments.
