When AI-Accelerated Discovery Outruns Patching, Exploitability Proof Decides What Gets Fixed First

Qualys describes joining the Athena coalition to improve coordinated defense of open source software, arguing that rapid discovery of vulnerabilities has turned a volume problem into a velocity problem; it promotes its TruConfirm capability to safely validate exploitability, provide environmental context, and help prioritize remediation so teams can focus on exposures that are actually exploitable rather than treating every scanner finding as equally urgent.
