About this episode

In this episode, Mehul sits down with vulnerability management influencer Patrick Garrity to unpack the rapidly shifting landscape of vulnerability exploitation. Patrick discusses how his unique data visualizations put CISA KEV on the map, but reveals the hidden limitations of the federal catalog today. He breaks down the recent geopolitical and funding crises paralyzing NIST’s NVD, highlighting how the private sector and projects like CISA's Vulnrichment are stepping up to fill the data void. The conversation also explores how MFA pushed threat actors toward network edge exploitation, the alarming reality of shrinking zero-day timelines, and why "exploitable by AI" might soon become the ultimate threat metric. Finally, they cover the looming impact of frontier AI models on mass bug discovery and how incoming European regulations will force companies to disclose active exploits within 24 hours.
