As artificial intelligence is rapidly adopted in cybersecurity, security patching practices across the tech industry are changing, with patch releases growing faster and larger than before. Microsoft rolled out its biggest-ever security patch after using AI to detect code vulnerabilities. The United States introduced a new coordination framework called Gold Eagle to speed detection, prioritisation and patching for critical infrastructure. Companies also launched AI-native security platforms, initiatives and services across cloud, operations and vulnerability testing.

Aton said on Wednesday it has joined Project Canopy, an initiative aimed at spreading AI-based vulnerability defence technology, as a Defending Partner. Project Canopy is a public-interest AI security alliance launched in June by the non-profit Project Plasma, focusing on boosting defences for domestic public-interest and livelihood infrastructure with limited security resources. Defending Partners receive vulnerability and patch information and can request checks of open-source and infrastructure systems.
