THE article discusses the critical state of supply chain security, emphasizing that the rapid discovery of vulnerabilities and their exploitation has outpaced organizations' ability to respond. Key points include: 1) Over 48,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were published in 2025, with negative time to exploitation. 2) Only 58 of these CVEs pose identifiable threats to enterprises, highlighting a significant visibility issue.
3) The role of AI is double-edged; while it could increase vulnerabilities, it may also aid in defense. The overall message stresses the need for better visibility into vulnerabilities to manage this crisis effectively.
