Too Many Findings, Too Few Fixes: Scaling Remediation Operations in the AI Era - Sunil Gottumukkala

As environments grow more distributed and development velocity accelerates, security teams face a widening exposure window — the gap between how quickly attackers exploit new vulnerabilities and how long it takes organizations to fix them. Traditional remediation operations, built around manual triage, ticket queues, fragmented tooling, competing developer priorities, and disconnected workflows, can no longer keep pace in the AI era.

This session explores practical ways to shrink that window. Attendees will learn how leading organizations are evolving remediation operations, rethinking prioritization, and introducing automation safely and responsibly in the AI era. The discussion will highlight frameworks for operational scale, cross-team collaboration, and guardrails that maintain trust while accelerating response.

What You Will Learn:

• Why the exposure window is widening across modern environments
• How traditional remediation workflows break down under cloud and AI velocity
• Frameworks to build scalable, resilient remediation operations
• Practical approaches for cross-team collaboration and responsible automation
