Your patch window just went from 30 days to hours

Thanks to AI, vulnerability disclosures are exploding. In mid 2026, we're seeing 130+ a day and climbing, with roughly a quarter already being exploited in the wild before they're even disclosed. The result: security teams that used to have 30 days to respond now feel pressure to issue patches in a few days or hours.

This video covers why "are we safe?" isn't a question you get to answer once:

• No team can manually triage 130+ disclosures a day, checking exposure, reachability, and exploitation for each one. Teams NEED automation to handle this scale
• Safety is a continual evaluation, not a Monday-morning checkbox. A package that was clean yesterday can turn out to be malicious today
• Readiness means a rehearsed incident response playbook: pick a package, treat it as compromised, and trace how many times it was pulled, which projects and repos it touches, where it's deployed, and which developers pulled it

That last drill is what separates teams that panic when a real incident hits from teams that already know the answer.
