Cybersecurity needs a new operating model

AI has compressed the time attackers need to find and exploit vulnerabilities, breaking the traditional security model where organizations had time to discover problems, assess risk, patch systems, and verify protection. Security leaders and regulators now recognize this as a permanent shift in the threat landscape, not a temporary issue, and are moving away from simply having visibility into systems toward making faster, evidence-based security decisions that reduce operational risk despite accelerated attack timelines.
