AI-Driven Vulnerability Surge Breaks the Traditional Patching Model

Rapid7 reports that vulnerability disclosure rates and exploitation speed now exceed the pace of traditional patch cycles, compelling security teams to shift from severity-based prioritization to exposure-based triage. The traditional model of scheduled patches and staged deployments no longer matches the operational tempo of modern threats.

Why it matters: Security teams and patch managers must reassess their prioritization logic today: focusing on what is actually exposed in your environment rather than CVSS scores alone, or risk falling further behind active exploitation campaigns.
