The patching paradox: The reality of AI in security

May 22, 2025 By David Girvin In Sumo Logic
Let’s stop pretending AI is going to save security. Sure, it’s going to help — it already is. But the idea that defenders will somehow “keep up” with attackers just because they both have access to generative AI is a fantasy. I come at this from a red-team mindset. I’ve spent years thinking like an attacker. Now I work at a blue-team company trying to defend real systems. And here’s what’s obvious to me: AI is going to let attackers move faster.

Navigating the World of Patching: Why Legacy Security Architectures Keep You Exposed

May 12, 2025 By Andrea Napoli In Cato Networks
A recent blog from a leading security vendor highlights what most security teams already know: attackers don’t need zero days to win. They exploit known vulnerabilities— “N-days”—because they know how hard it is for organizations to keep up with patching. The irony? That same vendor, like many others, ships and supports a vast portfolio of products—each with its own CVEs, patches, and advisories.

May 8, 2025 By The Editor In WatchGuard
In every quarterly security report we’ve ever released, we consistently find that threat actors primarily exploit old vulnerabilities, often fixed months, if not years, prior. The prevalence of zero-day exploits pales in comparison to these well-known, outdated vulnerabilities.

Patching is Risky Business: By the Gartner Numbers

Apr 23, 2025 By Sangita Patel In Cato Networks
When I read Eyal’s blog, Why FWaaS is the Only Way Out of Endless Appliance Patching, I imagined a time in the immediate now (oxymoron intended); a time where the word “patching” is as quaint as rotary phones. In my mind, I was Marty McFly, jumping out of the DeLorean, shocked to discover that in the year 2025, we’re still patching appliance boxes. But here’s the kicker: everything has changed. Except the way we think about patching.
