Terry Gerton <\/strong>We\u2019ve read a lot of headlines lately about Anthropic\u2019s new AI model, Mythos, and the alarms it is setting off. When a company limits access to its own AI tool out of fear of misuse, that\u2019s likely to get fast attention. When you think about what\u2019s happening now, what does that reaction tell you about how tools like this could or are changing the cyber threat landscape?<\/p>\n

Justin Miller <\/strong>Well, I have to look at cyber security through people, processes and technology, that that\u2019s how I kind of frame that. And we\u2019re getting to a point now where we have to understand that technology, as we have our really smart people working on that, we have to be able to make sure that we have the right personnel who can govern that and understand the responsibilities of this cyber ecosystem that allows us to operate with ethics, morals, and understands the abilities that AI can bring into our cyber domain and what effect that could happen. So, making sure that we understand policy, how to govern that. We need those people in cyberspace that\u2019ll help us stay forward thinking, stay right, stay moral, stay professional. That\u2019s what I want. When you ask me that question, that\u2019s what I think about.<\/p>\n

Terry Gerton <\/strong>We\u2019ll come back to those topics in a minute, but I wanna talk a little bit about the AI piece first, because security researchers have hunted software vulnerabilities for years. What\u2019s different about AI-driven tools like Mythos, for example, that can identify previously unknown flaws at scale and speed?<\/p>\n

Justin Miller <\/strong>Well, AI is a capability multiplier, right? And zero day is a specific undiscovered vulnerability. And to be able to think faster, we need artificial intelligence in some ways to help us seek out these vulnerabilities. That hidden weakness can be extremely dangerous and we have to be able to identify the sophistications in it quickly and start sounding that alarm a lot faster. And I think that\u2019s where AI can help us if…<\/p>\n
