The number of disclosed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in 2026 has surpassed 100,000, more than doubling the total from 2025, driven largely by AI-enhanced vulnerability hunting. The time between patch release and exploit development is rapidly shrinking, pushing organisations to prioritise risk-based patching strategies.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
AI is doubling vulnerability discoveries and cutting exploit times to hours, forcing you to shift from chasing every bug to focusing on vulnerabilities that actually threaten your infrastructure. The new US CISA directive means you must start patching based on real risk, not just severity scores.
