AI is finding bugs faster than humans can fix them: How enterprise security teams must adapt

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. AI-discovered security problems are growing like a tidal wave. Whether using a PC or running a data center, everyone will be affected. We are not ready for what's coming. The good news is that AI is finding security holes faster than ever. The bad news is that AI is finding security holes faster than ever. It's both: While it's great that we're finding all those bugs, trying to fix them all is a monster of a job.

They don't have anything like the resources to fix that many security holes. Indeed, even Apple -- yes, Apple -- has been overwhelmed by AI bug reports. As a result, in June, Apple told security researchers it "restricted the number of potentially dangerous software bugs researchers can submit to its internal security team. If you find a truly horrendous vulnerability, but you're over the limit, too bad. Try again next month. Hence, the problem. AI-assisted vulnerability discovery is…
