Why AI raises the stakes for exposure validation

AI is making it faster for both attackers and defenders to find vulnerabilities (weaknesses in software), but security teams already struggle with more security problems than they can handle. The key challenge is determining which vulnerabilities actually matter in a specific organization's systems, rather than just knowing they exist theoretically. Security teams need to validate exposures (confirm which vulnerabilities can actually be exploited) so they can prioritize fixes and verify that their solutions actually work.
