The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has revealed that in 2023, there were 28,831 vulnerabilities recorded, an increase of over 14% from 2022. This increase in volume and complexity has led to an increase in the cost of cyberattacks. Automation is the only solution as manual patching cannot handle the volume and scale of cyberthreats. However, it is recommended that autonomous patching must be paired with robust controls to ensure accuracy, compliance, and security. The National Institute of Patch Management 2025 has highlighted that over three-quarters of IT and security professionals report it takes one week or more to deploy a patch across the entire organization. The next era of patching requires an autonomous approach that combines automation with control to achieve efficiency and resilience in their patching processes.
