Miggo launches Pulse in bid to speed AI exploit response

Miggo Security has launched Miggo Pulse, a product intended to help security teams respond to AI-driven software exploitation.

It brings vulnerability information, exploit analysis and mitigation into a single workflow, with the aim of reducing the time between disclosure of a software flaw and the point at which an organisation can protect exposed systems.

The launch comes as security teams face a shorter window between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation. Miggo pointed to a rise in Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures submissions, shifts in bug bounty activity and limitations in public catalogues of known exploited flaws as signs that existing processes are under strain.

At the centre of the product is what Miggo describes as predictive exploit intelligence. Pulse monitors newly disclosed vulnerabilities, exploit releases, updates to known exploited vulnerability lists and signs of active exploitation, then adds the company's own research on root causes, vulnerable functions, likely attack paths and possible changes in attacker techniques.

This intelligence is drawn from Miggo's Predictive Vulnerability Database, which it describes as a curated internal repository. The same research pipeline behind that database previously identified remote code execution flaws in Grafana and LangChain, according to the company.

Single workflow

Miggo is positioning Pulse as an alternative to a fragmented security process in which teams rely on separate vulnerability feeds, manual triage, environment checks and standalone mitigation tools. It argues that those handoffs can slow response times when attackers can move from disclosure to weaponisation far more quickly than in the past.

Pulse also includes a runtime validation element. When Miggo's DeepTracing sensors are deployed in a production environment, the system is designed to verify whether a vulnerable component is actually running, whether the affected code path is reachable from the internet and which services are exposed across clusters, namespaces and deployments.

The approach is intended to help teams focus on exploitable risk in live environments rather than treating every high-severity vulnerability as equally urgent. Miggo says it removes the need for manual mapping between software bills of materials and vulnerability records.

Mitigation tools

When the system identifies a vulnerability as exploitable, Pulse is designed to generate and deploy protections through Miggo's other products. These include tailored web application firewall rules through WAF Copilot and runtime blocking through the company's application detection and response product, which uses an eBPF sensor.

The goal is to let customers apply a form of virtual patching before an official software patch is available, or while operational teams are still preparing to install one. Miggo is pitching that as a way to narrow what security professionals often call the patch gap.

The wider market context for the launch is growing concern among companies about how generative and frontier AI models may change the pace and scale of cyber attacks. Miggo referred to the "Mythos Era" to describe the environment it believes security teams are entering, where exploit development and mutation could become more automated.

Board-level scrutiny has also intensified, the company said. Security leaders at large organisations are being asked whether applications are protected against AI-accelerated attacks, adding pressure to provide rapid, clear answers about exposure and mitigation.

Pulse is intended to support several use cases. These include filtering newly published critical and high-severity vulnerabilities with known exploits, generating web application firewall rules for newly disclosed flaws before exploitation is observed, and prioritising vulnerabilities that affect running applications rather than relying on severity scores alone.

The product also targets situations where no official fix exists or where patching will take time because of operational constraints. In those cases, Miggo says security teams can deploy temporary mitigations within minutes.

Daniel Shechter, chief executive officer and co-founder of Miggo Security, outlined the company's view of the problem in a statement accompanying the launch.

"The gap between vulnerability disclosure and exploit weaponization has collapsed. The only question left is whether your defense moves faster than their offense," said Shechter.

He said the new product was built to shorten the process from identifying a threat to putting controls in place.

"Miggo Pulse is the first product that takes security teams from 'a new threat exists' to 'we're protected' in a single workflow, in minutes, not weeks," he said.
