🛡 Organizations face AI-driven growth in vulnerability discoveries, but deploying fixes across thousands or millions of devices remains a major bottleneck. Mitigation involves 4 steps: discovery, fix development, testing and staging, and deployment. Google demonstrates rapid patch distribution, while medical devices, telecom networks and industrial systems face tougher constraints. AI-assisted fixes, automated defensive controls and prioritizing actively exploited vulnerabilities can reduce risk—but fixing source code alone does not protect deployed systems.
