Beware the ‘son of Mythos,’ security experts warn


“The combination of AI-driven analysis and human expertise is proving far more effective than either operating alone,” Ollmann said. “The organizations that benefit most from these advances will be the ones that can rapidly validate, prioritize, and remediate the issues being discovered before attackers find them first.”

Ollmann added: “Mythosappears to be operating with a level of software access and analysis flexibility that most commercial security researchers and testing platforms don’t typically have, including the ability to examine code and behaviours that may otherwise be restricted by licensing or terms of service. That creates a unique opportunity to identify classes of vulnerabilities that conventional testing approaches often miss.”

For example, Mythos makes it easier to chain together several medium severity vulnerabilities to create a high impact risk.
