AI-Driven Cyber Threats Prompt Shift Toward Secure Development Practices

David Weston, corporate vice president for AI security at Microsoft, is calling for a shift away from traditional patch management in favor of secure development practices.

This comes as AI fundamentally alters the cyber landscape, allowing attackers to discover and weaponize software vulnerabilities faster than ever before.

Weston stated that what they want to do is 'retrain the physics here' by using AI's production advantage to turn the tables against malicious actors.

He pointed out that there are only 90 in-the-wild exploits every year, despite tens of thousands of documented vulnerabilities.
