Attackers are no longer operating at human speed. AI-driven reconnaissance, exploit development, and attack automation are shrinking the window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation.

In 2025, the median time from initial access to data exfiltration fell to just 72 minutes, down from 285 minutes the year before. Yet many organizations still rely on vulnerability management programs built around scans, tickets, severity scores, and traditional patch cycles.

In this on-demand executive briefing, Bob Beken, Principal at Cedrus Strategic, joins Arctiq cybersecurity experts to explore why today's threat landscape requires a different approach to vulnerability management: treating it as an OODA loop (observe, orient, decide, act) closed at operational tempo, rather than a linear scan-and-patch pipeline. Learn how to move beyond reactive scan-and-patch cycles by prioritizing vulnerabilities based on exploitability and business context, improving visibility across your environment, and reducing exposure to today's machine-speed threats.
