The "Vuln-pocalypse" Looms: Are We Cooked?

Author: CrowdStrike - Bewertung: 2x - Views:8

Many cybersecurity conversations of late are discussing the impending “vuln-pocalypse” — a term used to describe a scenario in which AI-powered tools are used to discover and exploit vulnerabilities faster than defenders can patch them.



It’s a valid concern. Even without advanced AI algorithms, researchers can build tools to automate the vulnerability discovery process. Now, the rise of increasingly sophisticated AI models is rapidly expanding the volume of vulnerabilities defenders will need to handle. “I’ve been saying since November, we’re looking at three to nine months until a massive influx of zero-day vulnerabilities,” Adam says in this conversation.



Which begs the question: Are we cooked? No, he says, but it’s getting hot in here.



In this episode, Adam and Cristian explore the vuln-pocalypse from the defender's perspective. They dive into the economics of this shift and explain how organizations should approach their patching strategy going forward. This isn’t an “end of the world” problem, they say, but it will require a more thoughtful approach to which vulnerabilities are patched, how they’re patched, and when.



Tune in for this timely conversation as adversaries and defenders alike explore the potential of AI.
