The traditional patch cycle — where a flaw is found, a CVE assigned, and a fix deployed over weeks — is no longer viable when offensive AI can identify and exploit vulnerabilities autonomously. Experts advocate for 'just-in-time' patching driven by real-time exploitation intelligence, continuous asset visibility, and compensating controls deployed at discovery rather than patch release. Virtual patching is discussed as a stopgap, particularly for OT and IoT environments, but criticized for creating false closure and leaving underlying vulnerabilities open. Rapid7's Douglas McKee proposes 'just-in-time risk reduction' as a more practical framing, emphasizing separating 'known vulnerable' from 'actually reachable and exploitable' assets through asset inventory, internet exposure mapping, and KEV tracking. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
