Key takeawaysSame old flaws, bigger stakes: ~40% of CISA’s exploited-vulnerability catalog traces back to well-understood, preventable weaknesses (memory safety, input validation, injection).Attackers aren’t chasing zero-days: CVE disclosures more than doubled year over year, but exploited vulnerabilities grew only 20% — known gaps are still the target.AI raises the urgency: it speeds up vulnerability discovery and exploit development, shrinking the window before flaws get found and weaponized.T

Key takeawaysCISA/NSA’s report cited memory-safety issues behind 66-71% of major OS CVEs and 75% of in-the-wild exploited vulnerabilities, driving real adoption momentum.Adoption faces real headwinds: legacy C/C++ is too vast to rewrite wholesale, and experts say MSLs work best for new code, not replacing proven systems.AI is accelerating migration (Google’s Gemini-assisted Rust rewrite ofgiflibis an early proof point), but human review is still required — the AI-generated code itself had defect

AI is increasing both the volume and speed of cyberthreats, pushing organizations to invest more in AI-powered security capabilities to keep pace. Yet overall cybersecurity budgets are barely growing, suggesting that much of the increased spending on AI is coming at the expense of traditional security tools.Arecent survey by IANS and Articoshows that AI investments in cybersecurity have become a priority for 69% of organizations, with 24% giving AI its own security budget line. Others are foldin
