AI-driven vulnerability research has caused a dramatic rise in security patches, with nearly 1000 CVEs addressed in a recent month compared to 96 the previous year, stressing IT teams who struggle to keep up with patching demands and testing. The acceleration mainly stems from advanced AI tools used by major tech projects but creates risks as fixing software supply chain vulnerabilities remains slow and complex.
