You'd hope so because if it turns out there is an asymmetry between "finding the hole" and "filling the hole" in terms of model capability that's a certified Bad Time(TM) for everyone.

Hell even if there isn't, We still have decades of cruft to fix and we already knew before LLM's that in general defending is harder than attacking, they only have to be lucky once, we have to be lucky every time.

It's going to be a rough few years.
