LLM-found zero-days mean most companies' only defense is active security monitoring
davidmanheim · x · 2026-10-19
Security researcher David Manheim argues LLMs are recreating the WordPress-era turning point where minimum-effort security stops being viable. The only current defense against LLMs discovering zero-day exploits is active security monitoring — a practice still rare outside Fortune 500 firms and defense contractors. A new equilibrium will take years; hopefully it favors defenders. The era of not thinking about cybersecurity is ending.
