Vulnerability response: Built for humans, outpaced by machines. [CyberWire-X]
For years, security teams had time between discovery and exploitation. Time to triage. Time to validate. Time to prioritize what to fix first. AI has compressed that window. Frontier models now discover and chain vulnerabilities faster than human analysts can confirm them, and the gap between finding and fixing is shrinking in both directions.
In this episode of CyberWire-X, N2K’s Dave Bittner and Federico Kirschbaum, Head of XBOW Security Lab, explore what it actually means to run autonomous offensive security, why validation workflows built for quarterly testing cycles struggle to keep up, and how practitioners are redefining what a tested application looks like when the pace of offense has fundamentally changed.
