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.Links from the episode: - Conformio software to streamline and scale ISO 27001 implementation and maintenance for your clients: https://advisera.co/Conformio-software- White label documentation toolkits for NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and other ISO standards to create all the required documents for your clients: https://advisera.co/page-all-toolkits - Accredited Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer courses for various standards and frameworks to show your expertise to potential clients: https://advisera.co/Consultant-Courses- Company Training Academy with numerous videos for NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and other frameworks to organize training and awareness programs for your client’s workforce: https://advisera.co/page-Company-Training-Account  - Beginner's Course for ISO, Cybersecurity, and AI Consultants: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHwD3nQun7caKFq80LxNNYKIabATlyA7t- How to Grow Your Cybersecurity, ISO, or AI Consultancy: Advanced Course:https://advisera.co/GrowYourConsultancyTraining  (00:00) - Interview with Thom Langford (01:01) - Mythos Hype or Reality?
