AI Agents End Security Through Obscurity

AI agents are now finding long-hidden vulnerabilities in software and industrial control systems, rendering the 'security through obscurity' strategy obsolete. The FBI confirms AI has broken decade-old open-source libraries. Attackers are using AI to reverse-engineer patches within hours, and five US agencies report active exploitation of Siemens PLCs at critical facilities. However, studies show AI-generated patches fail over half the time, creating a massive remediation backlog.
