Building for Breach

TLDR Dev · 1 day ago

Vulnerability discovery rates are compounding with AI assistance—CVE publications exceeded 40,000 in 2025 with 2026 projections reaching 60,000 to 100,000—while remediation efforts show diminishing returns as organizations closing 6.5 times more tickets experienced worse critical vulnerability resolution rates. Network microsegmentation adoption remains below 20% in enterprises despite being foundational to limiting breach damage, a gap now addressable through AI-assisted policy recommendations that baseline application communication patterns. As 82% of intrusions use valid credentials through lateral movement, organizations must architect systems for containment rather than relying solely on patching, with AI enabling previously impractical approaches to microsegmentation through automated discovery and policy synthesis.
