Two New Reports Offer Competing Explanations for Cybersecurity’s Growing Crisis
As AI shortens the path from vulnerability disclosure to exploitation, researchers disagree on whether the problem is inadequate security tools or inadequate operational control. The post Two New Reports Offer Competing Explanations for Cybersecurity’s Growing Crisis appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Two reports offer differing viewpoints. One suggests a failure of tools to provide what security teams really need. The other suggests the tools exist but are not properly managed.
The industrialization of cybercrime threatens to overwhelm cyber defense. It’s a process that started before the arrival of ChatGPT, was supercharged by the age of AI, and is now typified as the post-Mythos era. It’s a time when defenders must improve their performance or cede the battleground to the adversary. Applications are the battlefield. The speed, scale and sophistication of AI-assisted attacks is difficult to contain.
“AI is not just creating more vulnerabilities. It is exposing the fact that companies cannot fix known vulnerabilities fast enough,” explains Daniel Shechter, CEO and co-founder at Miggo Security. “For years, security programs have been measured by how well they find risk before software goes live. Frontier AI like Mythos changes the question. If attackers can move from disclosure to exploit in hours, boards and CISOs need to understand how long the business remains exposed, and what can be done to mitigate quickly and efficiently.”
