Tenable CTO Q&A: C-suite views AI as massive threat, as cyber teams adopt exposure management to counter AI attacks

Tenable CTO Vlad Korsunsky warns that advanced AI is compressing exploit timelines into “negative days,” enabling automated discovery and chaining of vulnerabilities before patches are released; he argues the traditional patch-centric model and static CVSS prioritization are obsolete and recommends continuous, AI-driven exposure management, zero-trust and least-privilege controls for proliferating non-human agent identities to mitigate rapidly escalating systemic cyber risk.
