Palo Alto Networks CEO says AI is making the same attacks faster and more common

According to a post on X by @nikesharora, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora argues that attacks are not becoming more sophisticated but are arriving faster and from many more people. He attributes this to open-source models that make finding attack paths trivial, and says incident responders have never been busier. Arora urges teams to scan for exposed vulnerabilities, update older perimeter systems, press vendors to fix code, and put a security framework around AI coding tools.

Nikesh Arora says attacks are not getting more sophisticated but are coming faster and from many more people, because open-source models make finding attack paths trivial, and incident responders have never been busier. He urges teams to scan for exposed vulnerabilities, update old perimeter systems, press vendors...

Security teams and businesses running older perimeter systems or using AI coding tools are the most directly affected by this advice. The post points to practical priorities: scanning for exposed vulnerabilities and tightening vendor and tooling security. Watch whether other security leaders report similar increases in the speed and volume of attacks.
