Microsoft's AI-driven vulnerability discovery is producing larger Patch Tuesday releases, with security experts predicting the shift toward rolling updates will replace the monthly patching cycle within years.

If you sell patch management, vulnerability scanning, or compliance tooling to enterprises, your entire product roadmap assumes monthly patch cycles—but Microsoft just signalled the end of that cadence. You're now building for a world where security updates arrive continuously, and your customers' update processes need to change this quarter, not next year.
