Defense in Depth, Rebuilt for Machine Speed

The author argues that as exploit generation accelerates due to AI while human-gated patching remains slow, systems must be protected through out-of-band defenses rather than relying solely on rapid patching. The piece outlines six combined product categories—ranging from live runtime fixes and zero-rule detection to provenance-verified backups and long-tail exposure management—designed to protect vulnerable software and physical infrastructure at machine speed.
