AI-powered attacks don’t wait.
Anthropic’s Mythos is a frontier AI model purpose-built for advanced cybersecurity tasks, capable of finding and exploiting vulnerabilities with minimal human involvement. It doesn’t invent new attack methods. Instead, it executes existing ones at machine speed. Lateral movement in 4 minutes. Full exfiltration in 6. Breakout time now averaging 34 minutes—29% faster than last year.
When AI agents can execute complete attack chains in a single continuous flow, detection-based security has already lost the race. By the time your SOC responds, the damage is done.
The only way to stop AI-powered attacks is to enforce controls at the same speed they operate, inline and at the moment of authentication—before access is ever granted. That’s what runtime Identity Security delivers.
Read this brief to understand:
- Why frontier AI models like Mythos are collapsing attack timelines and rendering traditional detection strategies obsolete
- How AI-driven lateral movement and privilege escalation now unfold faster than any human-led response can contain
- Why runtime enforcement, not just detection, is the only security architecture built to match the speed of agentic AI threats
