The increasing volume of software vulnerabilities, exacerbated by AI's ability to discover and weaponize them, is overwhelming traditional patch-and-forget methods. Experts like Drew Vanover from Horizon3 highlight that companies are struggling to manage the sheer number of fixes released by vendors such as Microsoft. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has acknowledged the backlog in its National Vulnerability Database, and a Department of Commerce report criticized the subjectivity and limited usefulness of Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores. This situation necessitates a shift towards Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a Gartner-identified trend that prioritizes vulnerabilities based on their actual business risk. AI
IMPACT AI's role in discovering and weaponizing vulnerabilities is increasing the burden on organizations, necessitating new management strategies like CTEM.
RANK_REASON The article discusses a trend and a proposed solution (CTEM) in cybersecurity in response to current challenges, rather than announcing a new product or research finding.
