CERT-In Recommends 12-Hour Patching for Internet-Facing Flaws Amid AI-Assisted Attacks

CERT-In recommends organizations patch critical vulnerabilities within 12 hours to defend against AI-assisted cyber attacks that accelerate exploitation timelines.

• •AI tools enable threat actors to automate vulnerability discovery, exploit development, phishing content generation, and malware creation
• •Organizations should implement Zero Trust approach, defense-in-depth strategies, and continuous vulnerability monitoring
• •Remediation timeline: known exploited vulnerabilities affecting internet-facing systems within 12 hours, critical external vulnerabilities within 1 day, critical internal vulnerabilities within 3 days
• •AI systems themselves are vulnerable to prompt injections, data leakage, jailbreaking, model theft, and training data poisoning
• •
