1. Continuous and autonomous coverage analysis and detection generation

While proactive defense can identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, there will be applications that you can not patch, as well as potential gaps in the time it takes to remediate vulnerabilities. The 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report underscores the magnitude of this challenge. In a study encompassing over 13,000 organizations, only 26% of vulnerabilities identified on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list had been fully remediated. Moreover, the median duration required to achieve full patching after detection stands at 43 days. Clearly, you still need continuous monitoring to detect threats in your environments.
