Artificial intelligence is fundamentally altering the cybersecurity landscape by accelerating vulnerability discovery and reducing exploitation costs. Dimitri Vedeneev, Executive Director of Security AI at Australian firm CyberCX, stated that recent exposure of a PHP vulnerability demonstrates how AI can rapidly reveal weaknesses in widely used technologies. Vedeneev warned that organizations must prepare to shorten their security response times from weeks to hours as AI lowers the barrier for identifying and exploiting flaws. The shift marks a significant change in the traditional race against time in cybersecurity defense.
