The Autonomous Security Platform Built for Attacker Speed
Summary
Attackers are increasingly using AI agents (autonomous software that can act independently) to find and exploit security vulnerabilities much faster than before, with the time from a vulnerability becoming public to actual attacks dropping from 2.3 years in 2018 to about 10 hours in 2026. Organizations continue to suffer breaches due to common problems like misconfigurations (incorrect security settings), unpatched systems (software without the latest security fixes), and identity sprawl (too many user accounts and access permissions), not because they lack awareness of these issues but because fixing them at scale is difficult.
