This draft strategy briefing, authored by the Cloud Security Alliance CISO Community together with SANS, [un]prompted, the OWASP GenAI Security Project and a wide range of senior security leaders, warns that AI‑driven vulnerability discovery – exemplified by Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and the coordinated Project Glasswing – is collapsing the time‑to‑exploit from years to hours. The document argues that this creates a structural asymmetry: attackers can generate, weaponise and deploy exploits at machine speed, while defenders remain bound by human‑scale patch cycles and legacy risk metrics. It therefore proposes a “Mythos‑ready” security program that re‑orients risk calculations, hardens basic controls, adopts LLM‑based agents for vulnerability discovery and remediation, and builds new governance, operational and technical capabilities (VulnOps, automated response, deception, continuous inventory, AI‑agent hardening). The brief includes an executive summary, key takeaways for CISOs, a 10‑question diagnostic, a detailed risk register (critical and high‑severity AI‑induced risks), a prioritized action table with aggressive timelines, guidance for board briefings, and appendices covering historical precedent, framework mapping (MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM/Agentic Top‑10, NIST CSF 2.0) and severity definitions. The overall message is that organizations must immediately adopt AI agents, update risk models, expand headcount and automation, and coordinate sector‑wide coalitions to survive the upcoming wave of AI‑accelerated attacks.
