This article highlights an increasing speed of exploitation after patches are released, putting defenders at a disadvantage.
Defender Context
Defenders are facing a shrinking window between patch release and exploitation, necessitating faster patch deployment and improved vulnerability management strategies. This trend emphasizes the importance of proactive security measures and rapid response capabilities to mitigate risks associated with N-day exploits.
