Governments and companies will need to patch systems quickly as more vulnerabilities are exposed in a short time, creating pressure on global cybersecurity defenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArtificial Intelligence, when used by sufficiently-skilled and knowledgeable individuals, is showing the ability to exploit this technical debt at scale and at pace across the technology ecosystem. As a result, the NCSC expect there will be a \u2018forced correction\u2019 to address this technical debt across all types of software, including open source, commercial, proprietary and software as a service.\u201d states NCSC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why we are encouraging all organisations to prepare now for when a \u2018patch wave\u2019 arrives; a rush of software updates that will need to be applied across the technology stack to address the disclosure of new vulnerabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Organizations should reduce their internet-facing and externally exposed attack surfaces as quickly as possible. They should first secure perimeter technologies, then move inward to cloud and on-premise systems to limit exposure from newly discovered vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>If full patching isn\u2019t possible, priority should go to external systems and critical security infrastructure. However, patching alone is not enough. Legacy or end-of-life systems that no longer receive updates&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securityaffairs.com\/191657\/security\/ai-speeds-flaw-discovery-forcing-rapid-updates-uk-ncsc-warns.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI speeds flaw discovery, forcing rapid updates, UK NCSC warns https:\/\/securityaffairs.com\/191657\/security\/ai-speeds-flaw-discovery-forcing-rapid-updates-uk-ncsc-warns.html Publish Date: 2026-05-04 05:30:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":240863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/securityaffairs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ncsc.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,20,24,31,27],"class_list":["post-240862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-cybersecurity","tag-exploit","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240862"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240862"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":240864,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240862\/revisions\/240864"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
