AI Is Accelerating Vulnerability Discovery. Can Defenders Keep Up?

The article discusses how escalating CVE volume has outpaced NVD enrichment capacity (including ~30,000 pre‑March‑1,‑2026 CVEs reclassified as "Not Scheduled"), creating gaps and delays in vulnerability context that increase risk for defenders. It highlights large year‑over‑year increases in disclosed vulnerabilities and exploitation trends, explains second‑order effects (false positives, eroded confidence, operational cost), and advises organizations to correlate multiple intelligence sources and integrate real‑time asset data with automated remediation—using Action1’s platform as an example solution.
