Microsoft warns that the traditional patch window is collapsing as attackers exploit vulnerabilities within hours of disclosure, outpacing security teams. AI accelerates patching but also boosts attacker speed, prompting a shift towards network controls like access restrictions and segmentation to reduce exposure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and Security Infrastructure.
