Rapid7 says attackers\' speed outpaces defenders, predictive security must shift to preemptive security
Cybersecurity firm Rapid7 said predictive security that detects signals of an attack and responds accordingly is no longer effective, citing the immediate exploitation of vulnerabilities after disclosure. It said attackers weaponise flaws within days, leaving little time for vendors to issue patches and defenders to deploy them. Rapid7 pointed to internet access brokers and infostealers as key drivers and said ransomware-related leak posts rose in 2025. It urged a shift to preemptive security and exposure management.
