The Shrinking Exploit Window, Patch Schedule Changes, and the Vulnpocalypse

This week was blessedly free of any major supply chain compromises, so we start by talking about new research from Anthropic on the shrinking window between bug disclosure and exploitation, then we discuss the changing patch schedule for Cisco and how all of this is changing the prioritization process for security teams, and finally we discuss some upcoming episodes and our latest hacker movie podcast on The Conversation.
