Faster fixes do not always mean a smaller security backlog.
AI is helping security teams fix vulnerabilities faster—but it is also helping researchers find them faster.

The result is a clear security-operations challenge: faster remediation does not always mean fewer unresolved validated findings. Teams need to track both resolution speed and backlog movement.
