AI is rewriting the rules of patch management.

For the first time in 19 years, vulnerability exploitation is the leading cause of breaches, according to the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. And AI is only speeding things up. Attackers now move from disclosure to active exploitation in under three days, while most enterprises still take weeks or months to patch.

So how do you close that gap without breaking things along the way?

Tom Cipolla, Global Field CTO at NinjaOne, and Mark Bermingham, Senior Product Marketing Manager, break down what it actually takes to patch faster while keeping your operations stable.

You’ll learn how to:

• Shift from periodic, scan-based vulnerability discovery to real-time identification and patch-led remediation
• Prioritize fixes using a dynamic risk score that weighs asset context, exploitability, and remediation windows, not CVSS severity alone
• Build sentiment and regression analysis into your patch decisions, so you’re not rolling out updates that cause more disruption than they prevent
• Cut patching cycle times from months to days with Autonomous Endpoint Management

This session is ideal for IT operations and security leaders looking to modernize vulnerability management without adding friction between their teams.
