HackerOne Security Research Report: Exposure Debt
      10 years of data. One finding that changes the conversation.
    
  

Hi Emre,Here's a number worth sitting with: when AI gets a vulnerability validation wrong, 39% of organizations say the CISO personally absorbs the blame, yet only 10% have a formal accountability framework for when it happens.

That gap is one of several that the 10th edition of the HackerOne Security Report (https://go.hacker.one/MTY4LU5BVS03MzIAAAGktfXnL36qJzSCHDKoByO7JZszKgGRlz8eS0uYcj9Vt1KaiAzYnN6c61hyjGL5fL1bVW7VVUQ=)  highlights for security leaders this year. The central finding is a paradox you're likely already living: your team is remediating 54% faster than two years ago, and the backlog has still grown 131%. Discovery has broken away from resolution, and the exposure is accumulating in the highest-severity findings, the ones hardest to fix.

The report is built for the conversations you're having with your board right now, and it closes with five data-backed actions, including why validation speed belongs on the board's dashboard and where remediation investment is actually falling short.

We're also hosting a live session with the research team to work through what these findings mean for security strategy heading into next year. This will be a useful hour if AI accountability and remediation capacity are on your mind.
