Cogent Security, a startup that uses AI‑driven agents for vulnerability management, announced two new platform features—Zero Day Response and Autonomous Remediation—designed to shrink enterprise vulnerability response times from weeks to hours. Zero Day Response instantly identifies exposures as soon as a public advisory appears, leveraging CVE, pre‑CVE, and supply‑chain disclosures and scoring each finding against the customer’s own environment. Autonomous Remediation then creates a tailored fix plan for each affected asset, runs a pre‑flight business‑impact assessment, and applies the remediation with optional human approval, verifying the fix afterward. Cogent says its Fortune 500 customers have cut the mean‑time‑to‑remediate critical vulnerabilities by 97%, noting that exploit development has accelerated dramatically—average time from disclosure to a working exploit fell from 125 days in early 2025 to under a day by April 2026, with many exploits appearing before scanner signatures are released. The launch is accompanied by research highlighting this “detection gap” and underscores the need for security teams to match the speed of AI‑empowered attackers.
