LUCAMEThe number of newly discovered software vulnerabilities is rising sharply, partly because attackers and researchers are now using AI to find them more quickly. Oracle is one of several large vendors having to rethink how it handles security patches and customer guidance as a result.
What this means for your business
If your business relies on any software platform - and virtually every business does - the window between a vulnerability being discovered and it being exploited is getting shorter. That means keeping software patched and up to date matters more than it did even a year ago. Talk to your IT team or provider about whether you've got a clear patching schedule in place, and whether critical updates are being applied promptly rather than batched up for convenience.
