Hoot offers self‑hosted AI security

- Hoot introduced an autonomous AI security agent for healthtech apps that can run self‑hosted to avoid sending PHI to external services. - The tool focuses on finding and validating vulnerabilities locally, aiming to reduce false positives and meet regulatory needs for PHI containment. - For vendors, this model frames security as a product requirement: autonomous scanning that never exports patient data can ease procurement concerns.
