IT INSIDER: Patch Apocalypse
The "Patch Apocalypse" is here. With the rise of advanced AI models like Mythos and Project Glasswing, the window for exploiting software vulnerabilities has shrunk from weeks to just days. Are your IT operations and security protocols ready for this new normal?
In this episode of IT Insider, Sydney Leser (Senior Product Marketing Manager) and Chris Goettl (VP of Product Marketing for Exposure Management) at Ivanti break down the chaos making headlines. We explore why traditional patching cycles are failing, the hidden "blind spots" in enterprise visibility, and why your current KPIs might be giving you a false sense of security.
What you’ll learn in this video:
The AI Threat: How new language models are automating the discovery and chaining of vulnerabilities with 72% more effectiveness.
The 5-Day Exploit Window: Why the average time to exploit a disclosure has hit a critical threshold and what global regulators (CISA, ASD) are now requiring.
Enterprise Blind Spots: Why 20-40% of your assets are likely invisible to your security team.
Governance Breakdown: Why relying on CVSS scores and monthly Patch Tuesdays is no longer enough to protect your organization.
The Autonomous Solution: How to move toward a continuous, risk-adjusted remediation model using Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM).
