Cisco’s new AI model tells code reviewers where to look for vulnerabilities

Cisco released Antares, a family of AI models designed to help security teams quickly identify which files in a large codebase might contain vulnerabilities based on a CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration, a list of common software weakness types) description. Rather than detecting specific bugs or creating fixes, Antares narrows down the search space so human security experts can focus their investigation on the most relevant parts of the code, reducing fatigue without replacing human judgment.
