In the 1979 Sci-Fi classic “Alien,” Ellen Ripley refuses to break protocol, recognizing that an unvetted threat allowed past the airlock could endanger the entire ship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Had the crew members of the USCSS Nostromo followed her lead, most of them would likely have survived. Instead, they were up against a threat that evolved faster than they could respond in a coordinated way — a cinematic nightmare made real in recent weeks as <\/span>AI-imbued security systems<\/span> like Anthropic’s Mythos show how attacks can slip through controls and outrun traditional defenses at machine speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For CIOs, the emergence of Mythos and its ilk is a call to rethink the step-by-step protocols of vulnerability management for a reality in which attacks are automated and executed at machine speed before most teams can respond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mythos testing exposes both zero-day and longstanding vulnerabilities<\/h2>\n

Earlier this month, <\/span>Anthropic launched<\/span> Claude Mythos Preview, a general-purpose language model to be used within <\/span>Project Glasswing<\/span>, which includes a select group of about 50 open source, technology and cybersecurity companies — including AWS, Apple, Palo Alto Networks and Nvidia — tasked with testing the AI model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mythos is being used by Anthropic and Project Glasswing to identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in open source codebases. Anthropic’s own testing of Mythos uncovered that the AI is “capable of identifying and then exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser\u00a0when directed by a user to do so.” The Mythos tests even identified some vulnerabilities that are over 20 years old. In addition, less than 1% of potential vulnerabilities uncovered by Mythos have been fully patched by their maintainers, <\/span>according to Gartner<\/span>. Over 99% of vulnerabilities revealed by Mythos haven’t been patched.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For its part, Anthropic is optimistic that the cybersecurity industry can adapt to <\/span><\/p>\n
