Machine-Speed Security: Patching Faster Than Attacks

⚡ Attackers are weaponizing many newly disclosed CVEs within hours, forcing defenders to close the gap by moving beyond manual triage to automated remediation. Drawing on 2025 industry reports and CISA and Mandiant observations, the article notes roughly 50–61% of new vulnerabilities see exploit code within 48 hours. It urges adoption of policy-driven automation, controlled rollback, and streamlined change processes to shorten exposure windows while preserving operational stability.

Webinar: Modern Patch Management Strategies for 2026

🔐 On December 2 at 2:00 PM ET, BleepingComputer and SC Media will host a live webinar featuring Gene Moody, Field CTO at Action1, on modern patch management strategies to reduce risk and speed remediation. The session, titled Winning the 2026 vulnerability race, explains how cloud-native, policy-driven tools can address limitations of legacy systems like WSUS. Attendees will learn prioritization techniques, visibility practices, and automation use cases to align patching with business impact.

Visibility Gaps in Patching and Vulnerability Remediation

🔍 Modern patch management demands centralized visibility, faster prioritization, and accountable remediation to close growing exposure gaps. The article highlights how legacy systems such as WSUS and SCCM struggle with mixed environments, remote endpoints, and third-party applications, producing inconsistent patch states and unnoticed failures. Action1 is presented as a cloud-native platform that inventories endpoints, maps missing updates to CVEs, automates targeted deployments and retries failures, and provides audit-ready reporting to unify security and IT workflows.

Action1 vs WSUS: A Modern Approach to Patch Management

⚙️ This sponsored comparison contrasts Action1, a cloud-native patch management platform, with Microsoft's legacy WSUS. It examines installation, ongoing maintenance, patch coverage, remote delivery, automation, troubleshooting, and reporting. The piece argues that Action1 reduces infrastructure overhead, patches third-party apps, and supports remote endpoints without VPN. It concludes that Action1 better fits modern, hybrid environments and audit-driven compliance needs.
