Cognition, maker of Devin, is acquiring AI security startup Corridor. Founder Ashwin Ramaswami argues the next 6–12 months will be the most consequential period in cybersecurity history, as AI agents can now execute end-to-end attack chains and defenders need new tools. He'll work alongside CEO Russell Kaplan and Alex Stamos. Cognition: "Securing the world's software is the most important problem in technology today."
