Artificial intelligence is often positioned as the biggest opportunity for business, that is true, but it is also changing the nature of cyber risk far faster than most organisations are prepared for. The conversation needs to catch up.
This is no longer just about productivity or efficiency. It is about the speed at which systems can be attacked, vulnerabilities identified, and weaknesses exploited.
Recent reports around Anthropic’s ‘Mythos’ model suggest that AI is now capable of executing complex, multi-stage cyberattacks in a fraction of the time it would take a human expert. What once took days can now happen in hours.
We are already seeing elements of this shift in practice. AI-led penetration testing tools, such as CodeWall, have demonstrated how quickly vulnerabilities can be exposed – in one case breaking into Bain & Co’s Pyxis platform in under 20 minutes….
