The Death of the Patch Window: How AI and Cloud Complexity Are Forcing a Paradigm Shift in Cybersecurity

Executive Overview For nearly three decades, corporate cybersecurity operated on a predictable, linear model: a software vulnerability was publicly disclosed, security operations teams assessed their exposure, engineers tested vendor-supplied fixes in staging environments, and patches were deployed during scheduled maintenance windows. This traditional workflow relied on a single fundamental premise—that enterprise defenders could move faster…
