Is Patching Dead? Vulnerability Management in the Post-Mythos Era
You cannot out-patch a machine that writes a working exploit from a vulnerability description in twenty hours. Stop trying to optimize a game you cannot win.
AI Summary
The concept of patching vulnerabilities in software may be becoming less effective due to the rapid development of exploits by automated tools. The emergence of machines that can quickly write working exploits from vulnerability descriptions has made it challenging for patching to keep pace. This shift has significant implications for vulnerability management strategies. The current approach to patching may be unsustainable, as it is difficult to optimize a process that is inherently reactive and cannot keep up with the speed of exploit development.
