- The goal is no longer just finding vulnerabilities first, but reducing the window between discovery and remediation,” he said.
- Nothing Mythos found couldn’t have been found by a skilled human,” said David Shipley of Beauceron Security.
- The next few years are going to be a marathon, not a sprint,” said Shipley.
Key claims in source B
- The asymmetry between attack and defense has never been more extreme,” Arellano said.
- These systems need strong guardrails that explicitly define their lane: what they can access, what actions they can take and where those permissions must stop,” Cunningham said.
- This is not a failure of intent; it is an outcome of scale, accessibility and capability diffusion,” Carignan said.
- The moment models like Mythos or even OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Cyber are announced, defenders need to begin preparing to address the next generation of threats.
