What happened

This feed of Qualys posts (June–July 2026) covers themes around AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery outrunning patching and the need to prioritize fixes by validated exploitability, Qualys joining Chainguard’s Athena coalition to coordinate open-source defense, and practical risk guidance. Notable operational alerts include “FortiBleed” — widespread credential exposure and abuse against internet‑exposed FortiGate management and SSL‑VPN gateways driven by credential reuse, brute force, and legacy hashing (high risk for devices without MFA or with prior Fortinet CVE exposure). Other pieces: a
