What this episode covers

In this episode of Insight Exchange, we unpack the shifting landscape of agentic AI cybersecurity and look past the marketing hype. We dive into the reality behind Anthropic’s groundbreaking Claude Mythos model and its defensive deployment programme, Project Glasswing.Join cyber expert Professor Richard Benham FBCS, in conversation with Martin Cooper MBCS, BCS' Editor in Chief, as they explore:Why autonomous tools like Anthropic’s Claude Mythos change the entire balance of power in cyberspaceThe real-world impact of Project Glasswing and whether early-access preview windows can truly protect critical national infrastructureWhy the traditional "rules of engagement" give cybercriminals a constant, asymmetric advantage over defendersHow the next phase of tech warfare will be fought between automated "AI angels and AI devils"The growing threat of AI-driven social engineering targeting the weakest human links in organisationsWe also examine a critical shift: why cybersecurity must finally move from the IT department to the boardroom.The arrival of Mythos-class models represents a massive shift in the baseline for tech risk. With global banking watchdogs warning of systemic financial risks and automated threats capable of triggering operational failure in a matter of weeks, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue.
