Boards are asking how you will fight autonomous AI exploits. Qualys CEO Sumedh Thakar explains zero-day remediation: detect, prioritize, and fix critical findings within 24 hours. Follow Qualys on BrightTALK for more Cyber Risk Series talks: https://www.brighttalk.com/channel/11673 Explore the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Platform: https://www.qualys.com/etm Build your Risk Operations Center (ROC) today: https://www.qualys.com/roc In this Cyber Risk Series keynote, Sumedh Thakar traces the shift from scanning every 90 days to a world where attackers use AI to reverse engineer patches within hours. The threat is moving from unknown vulnerabilities to known ones you have not fixed fast enough, which makes zero-day remediation the goal: critical findings detected, prioritized, and remediated in the first 24 hours. He breaks that goal into three pillars, detection, prioritization, and remediation, and explains why detection is the long pole. Most scanning approaches take two to three days to produce a finding after an advisory, which leaves no time for the rest. Qualys InstaScan and Agent Insta are built to answer 'are we exposed?' in the first 60 minutes, the golden hour. Sumedh cites detections posted within 13 minutes of Microsoft's latest Patch Tuesday advisory, then shows how Agent Insta, Agent Val, and Agent Sara work together, which he calls the three musketeers of risk management.
