ZeroPath, an AI-native application security platform, has been selected as a Top 10 finalist in the prestigious RSAC 2026 Innovation Sandbox contest. The company will present its autonomous vulnerability detection and fixing technology on March 23 at RSA Conference in San Francisco, competing for the Most Innovative Startup of 2026 title.
As AI transforms software development by speeding up code generation and shortening release cycles, traditional security tools face challenges like alert fatigue, high false positives, and growing remediation queues. This creates tension between security and engineering teams when alignment is critical.
ZeroPath addresses this modern development era directly. Built as an AI-native solution, it goes beyond static rules and pattern matching by understanding code semantics and reasoning about actual application behavior. The platform verifies exploitability before highlighting issues and automatically creates precise, context-aware pull requests for developers to resolve risks within their standard workflows.
The technology has proven effective by identifying serious vulnerabilities in major open-source projects such as curl, sudo, Linux, FFmpeg, and OpenSSL, showcasing its capability to handle complex, large-scale codebases.
In real customer deployments, ZeroPath delivers tangible results. Teams uncover 4–10x more actionable vulnerabilities than with previous tools, with over 50% of critical issues being business logic flaws overlooked by legacy scanners. Small organizations can deploy in under five minutes and receive verified fixes in 15–20 minutes, preserving development speed. Enterprises typically implement it in four weeks—much faster than industry norms—and some have deferred or reduced hiring for dedicated security engineers while sustaining robust coverage and compliance.
“I was almost blown away by the quality of some of the findings from ZeroPath. Some were actually truly awesome,” said Daniel Stenberg, creator of cURL.
As a finalist, ZeroPath will showcase the evolution from reactive scanning to proactive, verified risk reduction. The company advances its goal of securing global software by automating security processes and closing the divide between code creation and protection, ensuring vulnerabilities are caught and addressed early.
About ZeroPath
Founded by security engineers from Tesla and Google, ZeroPath is the AI-native application security platform that autonomously finds, verifies, and fixes exploitable vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional scanners that rely on static rules or pattern matching, ZeroPath understands code semantics and real application behavior. The platform unifies SAST, SCA, Secrets, and IaC into a single reasoning engine that verifies exploitability and automatically generates precise, context-aware fixes. By detecting complex business logic flaws and multi-step attack paths that legacy tools miss, ZeroPath delivers fewer false positives, faster remediation, and stronger security outcomes without slowing development.
