AI can now test software at a scale manual testing never reached. Models read code and search thousands of assets for familiar vulnerability patterns, surfacing exposures earlier and faster than any human team could.

For businesses trying to keep pace with an expanding attack surface, that reach is genuinely valuable. It is also exposing a weakness that has drawn far less attention: most organizations cannot validate, prioritize and remediate findings at anything close to the rate AI can produce them.
