Optiv has announced an expansion of its Threat Exposure Management Services to address the increasing number of software vulnerabilities, particularly due to AI advancements. The company aims to assist organizations overwhelmed by vulnerability management, as the time to exploit these vulnerabilities has decreased to hours or days. The expansion includes features like continuous testing and risk-based prioritization of exposures, allowing clients to focus on the most threats. Recent data indicates that Microsoft disclosed over 1,400 new CVEs in October 2026 alone, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

This approach is designed to help security teams prioritize remediation efforts effectively and respond to vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
