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. 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, 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 detection — is the only security architecture built to match the speed of agentic AI threats
