Is the next frontier model your biggest threat or your best defender?

Show Notes
Transcript

If you think the recent wave of AI-discovered vulnerabilities is a problem, Rob Bair of Anthropic has a reframe for you. Discovery is the easy part. Closing the remediation gap is now the defining security challenge.

Drawing on his experience in the Navy, in national security, and now frontier AI, Rob shares with host Johnny Hand what frontier models like Mythos actually mean for security leaders, and how defenders can keep pace when nation-state actors are already running autonomous attacks. 

You’ll learn:

  • What to do now that the discovery-to-exploitation window has collapsed and what that means for your patch cadence
  • Why the answer to addressing AI-discovered vulnerabilities isn’t a single tool; it’s getting back to cybersecurity basics 
  • What Anthropic’s GTG-1002 disclosure reveals about fully autonomous, AI-driven cyber kill chains used by nation-state actors

Why stick around: 

Learn how you can embrace frontier AI without losing sight of the operational fundamentals that ultimately determine organizational resilience.
