Three quarters of firms ship vulnerable code despite AI risks

A recent report reveals that 75% of organizations knowingly deploy vulnerable code, a decrease from 81% last year, but still significant amid rising AI-driven threats. Checkmarx highlights that vulnerabilities can now be exploited within two days, a sharp contrast to 840 days in 2018, with predictions of a future one-minute exploitation time.

Concerns about AI in the supply chain are echoed by a QBE study, indicating 75% of UK businesses worry about vendor AI usage, yet only 28% have audited their suppliers' AI systems. This underscores the urgent need for improved governance in AI implementation.
