Matt Moore highlights the exponential growth in reported CVEs, which he anticipates will be exacerbated by AI models like Anthropic's 'Methos.' He notes that malware attacks have shifted from rare occurrences to daily events, emphasizing the critical need for rapid patching.
“The number of CVEs being reported has just exploded. And this is only going to get, you know, an order of magnitude worse post Methos, right?”
“These used to be relatively rare, and they've gone to monthly occurrences, to weekly occurrences, to daily occurrences.”
“And so while no layer of defense is going to promise 100% protection, one of the things that also hasn't changed in the last two years is that none of our customers have been impacted by any of these attacks where they were using our product, right?”
