The Vulnerability Gap: Why Discovery Is Outrunning Repair
AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery is outpacing enterprise remediation capacity, compounding risk as NIS2 and CRA tighten patching obligations for European firms.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
AI is discovering more vulnerabilities, faster, and under a tightening regulatory environment, making this an all-hands-on-deck moment for the cybersecurity community.
Editorial Analysis
When discovery velocity exceeds remediation capacity, the exploitability window widens — a systemic risk amplified by incoming EU regulatory mandates requiring faster response.
Benchmark current mean-time-to-remediate against projected AI-driven discovery rates and invest in automation to close the gap.
Vulnerability discovery is accelerating faster than patching — regulatory deadlines make closing this gap a board-level priority.
