Summary

Mythos is a powerful new AI system being used by cybersecurity experts to find hidden weaknesses in software, faster and more effectively than almost any human. It can also outperform current AI tools at finding serious security flaws. Because of this, it’s not being released publicly and is instead being used in a controlled program called Project Glasswing to help fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Who Is at Risk

This affects everyone. If serious security flaws can be found faster than ever, the apps, devices, and online services you use every day may become targets more quickly.

What to Watch For

You won’t see this AI directly (yet), but you may notice more urgent security updates, more frequent warnings about vulnerabilities, and less time between a problem being discovered and being exploited.

What to Do

Turn on automatic updates for all your devices and apps so security fixes install as soon as they’re available.
