Mythos, Glasswing and the View From the UK GCHQ
Hosts David Simon (https://www.skadden.com/professionals/s/simon-david-a) and William Ridgway (https://www.skadden.com/professionals/r/ridgway-william) welcome Skadden (https://www.skadden.com/) colleague Nicola Kerr-Shaw (https://www.skadden.com/professionals/k/kerrshaw-nicola) to discuss how AI vulnerability discovery tools such as Anthropic's Mythos are compressing the timelines around vulnerability discovery, exploitation and remediation, and what that means for board oversight, disclosure obligations and incident response planning. In the second half of the episode, Shehzad Charania (https://www.gov.uk/government/people/shehzad-charania), director of legal affairs and policy at GCHQ (https://www.gchq.gov.uk/), shares the U.K. government's assessment that frontier AI is materially changing the cyber threat landscape by increasing the speed and scale at which vulnerabilities can be found. He explains that organizations that have not addressed their cybersecurity fundamentals and technical debt will be increasingly exposed and warns of a coming wave of forced corrections across the technology ecosystem as AI accelerates the discovery of flaws that must be remediated. His message to boards: make cyber a board-level responsibility, prioritize resilience and plan now to deploy updates quickly and at scale.
