Forescout Technologies released a study from its Vedere Labs unit showing that artificial intelligence can reduce the time needed to discover software vulnerabilities from about nine months to roughly 90 hours. The research focuses on foundational software used in critical infrastructure. The company says the speed gain also lowers the cost of both defensive research and potential attacks.

## The facts

- AI reduced vulnerability hunting time from ~9 months to 90 hours
- Study announced on 2026-11-12

## Why it matters

Security teams in utilities and other critical sectors could spot and patch bugs far faster, lowering exposure to attacks.
