As part of that, the tech company created an initiative called Project Glasswing with a select few companies, including\u00a0Apple Inc.\u00a0and\u00a0JPMorgan Chase &#038; Co., that would be allowed to use the technology to test their own cyber defenses first.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Treasury Secretary\u00a0Scott Bessent\u00a0and then-Fed Chair\u00a0Jerome Powell\u00a0summoned\u00a0Wall Street\u00a0leaders to warn them of the cyber risks raised by AI models such as Mythos. Since then, banks and officials have been hashing out ways to methodically tackle the vulnerabilities that Mythos has exposed, according to people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the big\u00a0U.S.\u00a0banks, some executives were immediately alarmed by Mythos\u2019s ability to move quickly through code and identify hacking weaknesses. But after several weeks of testing, some of the initial panic has given way to a long to-do list.<\/p>\n<p>Delaying some cyber exam schedules will give banks more time to fully understand the power of the new technology and will help regulators with ongoing efforts to stress-test defenses for it. The OCC, for example, is undergoing its own trial run with Mythos, one of the people said. To be sure, examiners are still engaged&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.govtech.com\/artificial-intelligence\/u-s-regulators-pause-cybersecurity-bank-exams-due-to-mythos\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Regulators Pause Cybersecurity Bank Exams Due to Mythos https:\/\/www.govtech.com\/artificial-intelligence\/u-s-regulators-pause-cybersecurity-bank-exams-due-to-mythos Publish Date: 2026-05-20 12:02:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":250521,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/erepublic.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/0ba97fd\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/940x457+0+85\/resize\/1440x700!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ferepublic-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F21%2F83%2F9ae792ae8826eedbb0407676d502%2Fshutterstock-539711152.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-250520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250520"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250520"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":250522,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250520\/revisions\/250522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
