People doing software security often use LLMs more as orchestrators than
anything else. But there's so many more complicated ways to use them in our
space coming down the pipe. Obviously the next evolution of SBOMs
<https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/cisa-sbom-rama> is that
they represent not just what is contained in the code as some static tree
of library dependencies, but also what that code does in a summary fashion...

Well this is rather timely! Although I'm not sure using an LLM for the
behavioral aspect is entirely necessary. I've been working on an
experimental system that does just what you talk about for dependencies (
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_scanning/experiment_libbehave_dependency.html,
pre-alpha!). My solution uses static analysis because I'm a fan of
determinism.

Snark aside, looking at behaviors...

We've been talking about and giving "Beyond the SBOM" presentations for a
while now, but to your point, I don't see anyone actually doing it.

If Solarwinds said "here's a script that will lock down your host firewall
to just the outbound access our tools need to update themselves", that
would be amazing, and would have saved everyone some time and trouble a few
years ago.
