From patch to problem: How hackers are using AI to reverse engineer a…

AI is accelerating attackers' ability to reverse-engineer security patches and exploit vulnerabilities within hours of disclosure, while organisations take a median 43 days to deploy patches across production systems. The exploit-to-patch window has collapsed from years to hours, making vulnerability prioritisation and continuous attack surface validation critical. If you sell breach-detection or vulnerability-management tools, your customers' patch-to-deploy window just collapsed from weeks to hours. Organisations will now pay for continuous attack surface mapping rather than waiting for annual penetration tests – that's your new market.
