For years, defenders have relied on the friction built into the offensive cycle. Finding an exploitable vulnerability takes time. Weaponizing it takes more. Moving from initial access to a high-value target requires navigating an environment that defenders understand better than the attacker does, at least at first. Frontier AI models like GPT-5.4-Codex promise to vastly accelerate the process of uncovering and patching vulnerabilities. At the same time, adversaries continue to get more effectiv

4-Codex promise to vastly accelerate the process of uncovering and patching vulnerabilities. At the same time, adversaries continue to get more effective at leveraging AI to exploit vulnerabilities, move laterally, accelerate privileges, and inflict damage. As the window between vulnerability and exploitation window gets smaller, detection alone is not enough. The more important question becomes: once an attacker gets in, what can they reach? And how do you foreclose those paths before the question becomes urgent?
