Thales warns frontier AI models accelerate vulnerability discovery, forcing shift to continuous cybersecurity defense

• Thales flagged a step-change in cybersecurity risk as frontier AI models begin systematically finding software vulnerabilities at massive scale.
• It warned minor flaws could be chained into major attacks, pressuring organizations to patch faster across entire codebases.
• The analysis called for continuous, end-to-end security from design through operations, with fewer silos or blind spots.
• Thales expects AI-driven attacks to compress response windows to minutes, pushing defenders toward real-time updates and automated incident response.
• It tied AI-agent deployment to EU AI Act requirements, including monitoring, explainability, transparency, accountability, ethical compliance.
