Daily Cyber News: Attackers gain an early speed advantage in the AI security race
Security teams are losing response time as attackers use AI to find weaknesses and move through compromised systems faster. Microsoft says attackers currently benefit from AI more quickly than defenders, particularly in vulnerability research and malware development. The median time between discovery in the wild and weaponization has fallen well below 24 hours.
Key context: AI is also accelerating work after an attacker gets inside.
Additional detail: The defensive challenge is that faster discovery doesn’t automatically create faster remediation.
