Google's PageBreak agent quietly caught over 500 vulnerabilities by testing exploits live
Google's PageBreak agent quietly caught over 500 vulnerabilities by testing exploits live against running applications.

The good news is that a straightforward approach using SUMPRODUCT can handle the date range and name matching without overhauling years of data.
