ZeroPath (YC S24) is the first AI-native application security platform that fundamentally reimagines how organizations find and fix vulnerabilities. Unlike deterministic SAST tools that bolt AI onto legacy rule engines, ZeroPath was built from the ground up to combine large language models with advanced program analysis (AST, data flow, taint tracking) by Ex-Tesla Red Team and Google Security engineers. ZeroPath's core differentiation is detecting critical vulnerabilities that pattern-matching SAST fundamentally cannot find.
