AI accelerates global cybersecurity crisis, Check Point CTO warns at TAU Cyber Week - interview
Check Point CTO Jonathan Zanger warns that outdated software and AI-powered cyberattacks are leaving much of the internet vulnerable as hackers exploit security flaws faster than ever
Assessment
The CTO of a major cybersecurity firm is publicly stating that the defensive side is losing the race. The warning combines two distinct threats: the existing problem of unpatched legacy systems and the new acceleration from AI tools that let attackers find and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed. For organizations running outdated software, the margin for error just collapsed. The practical question is whether the security industry can automate its own defenses fast enough to keep pace, or if a wave of breaches is now inevitable.
