The time of much patching is coming
Summary: Cisco Talos writes that AI can now scan code for errors at a scale and speed human vulnerability researchers cannot match, and that threat actors will have access to the same tools for finding exploitable vulnerabilities. Talos says the result is likely to be a surge in patches, many urgent and some for vulnerabilities under active exploitation, and that the surge has yet to happen but first signs may already be visible.
Key Takeaway: Talos warns that without proper planning the volume of fixes may outpace an organization's capacity to deploy them, and that decades of technical debt and latent errors will be uncovered in the short term.
