Adversaries Don't Need a Zero-Day - They Read Your Rulebook

A news item discusses declining confidence in autonomous security tools, suggesting that adversaries can exploit predictable security implementations without needing zero-day vulnerabilities. The piece implies that security practitioners' reliance on automated defenses may create vulnerabilities when attackers understand the underlying rules and logic of those systems.

Why it matters: Security teams using autonomous tools should reassess their detection and response logic to ensure adversaries cannot reverse-engineer or predict defensive patterns, as over-reliance on known rule sets may create false confidence in breach prevention.
