Gartner Report: The Attack Path is Closing Faster than Most Teams Can Patch
Gartner reports that frontier artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the conversion of separate vulnerabilities into executable attack paths, compressing the window for security teams to prioritize and patch. Organizations must shift from measuring activity and backlog volume to tracking attack path coverage, patching cadence, mean time to remediate, and meaningful business risk reduction. Attack path analysis combined with business context and compensating controls offers a more effective prioritization strategy than traditional vulnerability counts.
Why it matters: Security leaders and vulnerability management teams need to reassess metrics and prioritization methods now, since AI-assisted exploit development narrows decision windows faster than existing backlogs can be addressed, requiring focus on outcome-driven measures tied to business resilience rather than activity completion.
