You're Not Going to Patch Your Way Out of This PSW #926
SC Media, Thursday, May 14th, 2026
Security podcast covering BitLocker bypasses, AI in vulnerability discovery, and emerging threats from autonomous hacking.
PSW #926 discusses critical security vulnerabilities and emerging threats including the unpatched YellowKey BitLocker bypass that works even with TPM+PIN, AI models like GPT-5.5 demonstrating advanced cyber capabilities, and organizations using AI to find vulnerabilities in their own code before attackers do.
The episode highlights how patch management alone cannot address modern security challenges, with Microsoft's MDASH system discovering vulnerabilities through multi-agent AI scanning and Palo Alto Networks publishing a record 26 advisories in one day.
Hosts emphasize the strategic importance of preemptive AI-driven vulnerability discovery as adversaries increasingly adopt similar capabilities, potentially making the traditional reactive patching cycle obsolete.
