Breakthroughs in frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.4-Cyber are changing the game for both offensive and defensive security, and most security teams aren’t prepared for what’s coming next.
Mythos signals a new reality: AI models can identify vulnerabilities in near real time. What once took days or weeks is now compressed into minutes, drastically shrinking the window between discovery and exploitation. At the same time, rapidly expanding attack surfaces are increasing exposure faster than most teams can manage.
In this session, CrowdStrike’s Elia Zaitsev, Global CTO, and Andrew Munchbach, VP of Global Enterprise Sales Engineering, will break down what this shift means for defenders with a five-step framework for frontier AI readiness. You’ll learn how to:
- Prioritize risk based on exploitability, not volume
- Continuously validate exposure inside and outside your environment
- Enforce continuous identity controls to block exploitation
- Detect and respond at machine speed
- Apply AI deliberately and securely to scale operations
Join us to learn how to build a security program ready for the frontier AI era.
