Menlo Security's CISO Lionel Litty Gains Early Access to Google Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber via Fairwind Program

WHAT HAPPENED

Google selected Menlo Security's CISO Lionel Litty for early access to Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber through Google's new Fairwind Program. Litty's team tested the AI model directly against Menlo's own code and workflows to validate its capabilities rather than accepting claims at face value.

WHO IS INVOLVED

Menlo Security and Google are the primary parties. Lionel Litty, Menlo's CISO, was one of a set of trusted defenders chosen by Google for the Fairwind Program. Litty's team conducted the technical evaluation of the model.

HOW IT WORKS

Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber demonstrated the ability to identify vulnerabilities in logic that spans multiple files within code. The model could chain these vulnerabilities into more powerful attack primitives, providing a more sophisticated analysis than traditional vulnerability detection approaches.

WHY IT MATTERS

The capability to find cross-file logical vulnerabilities and chain them into stronger attack primitives represents an advancement in AI-driven security analysis. This means security teams can now use AI to discover more complex attack paths that might be missed by conventional tools, improving their ability to defend against sophisticated threats.
