Azul’s 2026 AI Vulnerability Gap Report Finds Enterprise Patching Lagging Behind AI Threats

Azul's 2026 AI Vulnerability Gap Report reveals that most U.S. security leaders believe AI-equipped attackers can exploit vulnerabilities faster than their organizations can patch them, with 85% reporting incidents linked to slow patching. The study highlights a critical mismatch between attacker speed and enterprise patch deployment, especially in Java environments where testing delays add days to patch cycles.
