Why do we care?
Security CoPilot could be a significant tool in providers’ arsenal, particularly as you pay on demand. It’s there when you need it. Savvy providers will ensure they are trained and ready to integrate its use into their processes, as you don’t want to learn the tool while handling a crisis.
Take a moment to consider a fully autonomous software engineer. Sure, 13% sounds low, but this is far beyond the previous state of the art, at 1.96%. As noted in the coverage, even when given the exact files to edit, the best previous models can only resolve 4.80% of issues. I think it’s obvious why we care—this is a highly skilled role that is being eaten into, and one should easily see the other roles that can be impacted.
