Dark Perimeter: "The Clock Is Broken: AI, Exploits, and the Death of Monthly Patching"

For the first time in nineteen years of Verizon DBIR history, vulnerability exploitation has overtaken stolen credentials as the number one breach entry point. The reason: AI in the hands of threat actors is compressing the time between disclosure and weaponization from months to mere hours. Cole Drayden sits down with Dr. Elliott Vance and Marcus Hale to break down what changed, why monthly patch cycles are no longer adequate, and what security programs need to do right now. Then: the current AI model landscape — Gemini 3.5 Flash, GPT-5.5, the Anthropic Mythos network penetration benchmark — and the hardest question in the field: how close are we, actually, to AGI?
