Sumedh Thakar, President and CEO of Qualys joins Dave Bittner on the CyberWire Daily podcast for a sponsored Industry Voices at the RSAC Conference 2026. He explains how attackers are outpacing traditional patching timelines with exploits emerging before fixes exist, and why organizations must shift to AI-driven, autonomous remediation and risk prioritization to focus on truly exploitable threats and close the growing gap between detection and response.
