N-day is Becoming N-Hour. Patching Faster Won't Save You.
Read original article ↗AI Summary
The article highlights a paradigm shift in cybersecurity where the time between a vendor patch release and the emergence of a working exploit has collapsed from days to hours, driven by AI-assisted exploitation. Traditional patching strategies are no longer sufficient, as demonstrated by Anthropic's red team using AI to reverse-engineer Firefox and Windows patches into working exploits within an hour. This 'Vulnpocalypse' scenario means attackers can weaponize patches faster than defenders can deploy them, rendering conventional vulnerability management ineffective. The focus must now shift from patching speed to validating exploitability and control effectiveness.
