For users with public facing services: How does the current explosion of AI-discovered vulnerabilities affect your threat model and willingness to be public facing? (lemmy.ml)

PHP, TLS, etc.. We appear to be facing a tsunami of vulnerabilities being discovered in record time. Further, the window to act on these vulnerabilities has basically closed to zero; hackers' tools now automatically fold the very latest vulnerabilities into their botnets within minutes/hours of discovery. I have always been extremely reluctant to expose any of my services - even with the latest and greatest security tools. My choice to stay totally within the confines of tailscale seems vindicated given this week's news. How are you all taking this?

Ok, ai has increased the frequency and amount being found, but that is equally increased both for malicious and cybersec, so it essentially cancels out.

This is not what experts are saying.

You're determined that I worry about my public server aren't you? Your initial question wasn't actually a question, but just a trap for you to lure me into to be converted to your way of thinking?!?! rumbled! 😂 There are always experts to quote for any argument. Personally, I don't feel any more vulnerable than before ai decimated the security landscape.
