When people hear that a frontier AI model can chain together the steps of a cyberattack faster than a human expert, the instinctive reaction is fear: robots are coming for our firewalls. But the more useful question isn’t whether AI can find a way in — it’s whether your organization can find out, decide what matters, get the right person to approve a fix, and actually deploy it before the window of exposure closes. That unglamorous sequence of tasks, not some cinematic AI-versus-AI showdown, is where the next few years of cybersecurity will actually be decided.

When More Data Means More Work: Inside GitHub’s Vulnerability Curation Bottleneck

A security database does not slow down because something is broken.

That tension between volume and verification is exactly what GitHub’s Advisory Database ran into this spring, and the story is worth understanding not as a company hiccup but as a window into how security infrastructure actually works.
