AI Is Finding Vulnerabilities Faster. Can Your Patch Management Keep Up?
AI is helping us find software vulnerabilities faster than ever. That’s great news for cybersecurity. But, there’s a consequence we don’t talk about nearly enough: More vulnerabilities discovered means more vulnerabilities to fix. More vulnerabilities to fix means more patches. And more patches mean more pressure on already-busy IT teams. Would you agree?
Microsoft, Google, and other major technology providers are increasingly using AI and advanced security technologies to uncover vulnerabilities that might previously have remained hidden much longer. I see this as an important step forward. Finding vulnerabilities earlier gives us a better opportunity to address them before attackers can exploit them. But, it also raises an important question for every IT and security organization: If AI dramatically increases the speed at which we discover vulnerabilities, can our patch management processes keep up? Think about it for a second and try to digest the impact of these changes on...
