In Kubernetes environments, managing vulnerabilities can be overwhelming; HAIstings, an AI-powered prioritizer using LangGraph and LangChain, was developed by Stacklok.
HAIstings helps prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity, infrastructure context, user insights, and evolving understanding through conversation.
Main components include k8sreport, repo_ingest, vector_db, and memory to gather data, provide context, store files, and maintain conversation history.
HAIstings uses LangGraph for conversation flow, retrieving data, creating reports, gathering context, and refining assessments based on new information.
A retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach efficiently retrieves relevant files from GitOps repositories for each vulnerable component.
CodeGate enhances security by redacting secrets and PII, controlling model access, and maintaining a traceable history of interactions with AI models.
Configuring HAIstings with CodeGate involves updating the LangChain configuration to work seamlessly with the security controls provided.
The combined system provides context-aware vulnerability prioritization while ensuring strict security measures are in place.
HAIstings can generate security reports highlighting critical vulnerabilities, providing tailored recommendations for prompt attention.
Performance considerations emphasize the trade-off between latency and security benefits when utilizing LLMs for vulnerability prioritization.
