This FAQ helps security leaders explain the implications of Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing to executives, boards, and internal teams. It describes Mythos as a frontier AI model capable of autonomously finding and chaining software vulnerabilities, compressing exploit timelines from weeks to minutes and lowering the barrier to sophisticated attacks. The guide argues that scanners remain useful, but the bottleneck has shifted from discovery to response. It recommends agentic defense built on continuous validation, real-time exposure management, automated reasoning, and human oversight. It also highlights target outcomes including a 60% reduction in MTTR, an 80% decrease in manual operations, and a 98% reduction in vulnerability backlogs through deduplication and aggregation.
