The rapid advancement of AI technology has significantly increased the risk of software security breaches, making it essential to rethink software security measures. AI-powered attackers can now automate and speed up attacks, exploiting critical vulnerabilities before patches are released, and accessing systems externally or remotely. To combat this, automated patching and ongoing monitoring of security breaches will become non-negotiable, and defenders will need to use AI agents to stay ahead of attackers. AI summary
