Anthropic’s Mythos and the Future of Vulnerability Management | Interview with Thom Langford
In this Secure and Simple Podcast episode, host Dejan Kosutic (CEO at Advisera) speaks with Thom Langford, CTO for the EMEA region at Rapid7, about Anthropic’s new AI model “Mythos” and its impact on cybersecurity. Langford argues that the fundamentals remain the same - discover, risk-contextualize, and patch - but the speed, scale, and volume of findings will surge, exposing immature vulnerability and patch-management programs. They explore continuous vulnerability monitoring tied to the SDLC, potential increases in breaches for less-prepared organizations, governance and arms-race concerns, changes to CISO scrutiny and responsibilities (including AI governance), impacts on budgets, and resilience as a differentiator.
