Why now
- AI tools accelerate exploitation timelines, compressing time to attack after vulnerability disclosure.
- Verizon’s latest DBIR shows a rising trend in vulnerability exploitation over credential abuse.
- CERT-In’s new 12-hour patching guideline is a direct response to these evolving threat dynamics.
Why it matters
- Vulnerabilities are now the primary entry point for cyberattacks, increasing breach risks.
- Slower patching combined with AI-automated attacks heightens enterprise exposure.
- Rapid patching mandates aim to reduce exploitation windows and improve security posture.
