The exploit window gets sliced to minutes, not days
Anthropic’s new AI model Mythos appears to reduce the gap between finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities, effectively compressing the “kill zone” for attackers and defenders alike. With many Indian companies running slower patch cycles, the risk rises as AI-driven exploitation becomes faster and more widely usable—pushing security teams toward continuous, machine-speed patching instead of periodic fixes.
- Mythos reportedly shortens the time to weaponize vulnerabilities
- Indian firms with slower patching face heightened exposure
- Attackers benefit from faster, more accessible AI exploitation
- Defenders may need continuous machine-speed security updates
