Most vulnerability management programs fail not because of technical shortcomings, but because of structural ones. Organizations fall into a predictable pattern: deploy scanners, generate reports, pressure engineering teams to remediate. The result is just as predictable. Alert fatigue sets in, relationships with development teams turn adversarial, and security debt piles
You can't protect AI agents making thousands of decisions per minute if you can't protect a support portal with a second authentication factor.
We built AI systems assuming “read-only” meant safe and then gave them the power to infer, correlate, and act across our entire organization. In AI security, inference is the new privilege, and most enterprises are dangerously unprepared.
