We are standing at the end of an era we never thought to mourn: the era of human-speed threats. For years, cybersecurity moved to a rhythm organizations could follow. A researcher found a bug, a CVE was cataloged, a vendor navigated a patch cycle, and weeks or even months later, a fix was deployed. In
