Cisco Rolls Out Antares AI Models for Smarter, Faster Code Security

Cisco has introduced Antares, a family of security small language models ( SLMs ) purpose-built for one of the hardest, most time-consuming and expensive problems in security: pinpointing where known vulnerabilities exist within a codebase. As organizations race to secure their digital infrastructure, finding vulnerabilities quickly is critical. However, using general-purpose AI to scan code can be expensive and often requires sending sensitive, proprietary source code to the cloud, representing
