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.

Offensive cybersecurity company Theori said on Tuesday it launched Xint Pulse, an on-demand diagnostic solution based on its AI vulnerability detection platform Xint. The company said Xint Pulse keeps the inspection performance of its AI-based black-box penetration testing solution Xint Web, while allowing flexible adoption for individual web applications. It said the product runs the same high-performance AI engine and provides vulnerability analysis reports and up to three free retests.
