A recent report from BleepingComputer reveals that attackers are increasingly leveraging HexStrike-AI, an AI-powered offensive framework, to automatically weaponize newly disclosed n-day vulnerabilities in mere minutes (bleepingcomputer.com).
Originally created as a red teaming framework, HexStrike-AI orchestrates over 150 specialized cybersecurity tools and AI agents, forming an automated pipeline from reconnaissance to exploit execution. In the hands of malicious actors, this translates into reduced attack timeframes from days to just minutes, a profound shift in the cybersecurity risk landscape.
What used to be a painstaking multi stage process now happens at machine speed. A newly reported vulnerability like CVE-2025-7775 is not just a risk for the next few days. It is vulnerable almost immediately. ShadowServer data indicates roughly 8,000 endpoints remained exposed to CVE-2025-7775 as of September 2, 2025, down from 28,000 the week before. That still leaves thousands in peril.
Check Point researchers voice serious concern: “The window between disclosure and mass exploitation shrinks dramatically”, they warn, urging faster, smarter defensive measures.
If you are relying primarily on detection systems such as antivirus tools, SIEM alerts, or manual patching workflows, you are already behind. HexStrike-AI does not wait for you to notice. It exploits the moment a vulnerability is available.
You need to shift from reactive defense to proactive containment.
Here is where AppGuard comes in. With over a decade of proven protection, AppGuard goes beyond detect and respond. It enforces strict isolation and containment at the endpoint level. Instead of waiting to detect an exploit, AppGuard prevents unauthorized actions and code from even being executed.
Isolation-first architecture ensures that even if an attacker tries to deliver an exploit or webshell, it is contained before it can cause harm.
Its 10-year track record demonstrates consistent effectiveness, now expanded for commercial deployment.
By embedding containment mechanisms directly on endpoints, AppGuard empowers organizations to stop attacks before they spread, without having to outpace AI-powered offensive tools in milliseconds.
The message is urgent. In today's environment, AI accelerates exploitation timelines to under 10 minutes. Detection-based tools may log activity, but that is often too late.
AppGuard flips the script. It isolates threats instantly, containing malicious activity before it spreads.
This is not theoretical. It is proven. For more than 11 years, AppGuard has lived up to its promise of proactive endpoint protection.
Do not let your defenses play catch-up. Business owners and security leaders, it is time to move from Detect and Respond to Isolation and Containment.
Talk with us at CHIPS today to explore how AppGuard can shield your organization against AI-driven attacks like HexStrike-AI. Be proactive. Be resilient. Protect with AppGuard.
