This is the first installment in our Chart of the Week (COTW) series, highlighting key insights from Build Secure or Be Forever Insecure. Each week, we'll unpack one data point shaping the future of AI-powered software security.
Security teams have spent the last decade optimizing around known vulnerabilities. We prioritize CVEs, monitor the KEV catalog, and patch what's already been discovered.
But AI has changed the rules.
Frontier models can reason across first-party code, dependencies, patch diffs, build systems, and runtime behavior to uncover vulnerabilities that don't yet exist in public databases. Organizations can no longer assume that "no CVE" means "no risk." The challenge is shifting from asking "What is known vulnerable?" to "What could be vulnerable?"
That's exactly why we built Frontier Defense™. As part of the Continuous Vulnerability Elimination Factory™ (CVEF), Frontier Defense continuously assesses software and AI attack surfaces—including first-party code, dependencies, packages, container images, and runtime behavior—to discover, validate, and eliminate novel vulnerabilities before they become tomorrow's CVEs.
When Frontier Defense™ analyzed software attack surfaces—including first-party code, dependencies, and container images—it identified novel vulnerabilities in every evaluation.
Unlike traditional scanners that rely on known signatures and public disclosures, Frontier Defense discovers previously undisclosed, exploitable weaknesses—helping organizations identify risk before attackers or public databases do.
This isn't about finding more vulnerabilities. It's about finding the vulnerabilities that matter before they're publicly known.
As AI compresses exploit timelines, organizations must move beyond vulnerability management to continuous vulnerability elimination—continuously finding, validating, fixing, verifying, and proving that exploitable risk has been eliminated.
