Presented by Lucas Persell, Sr Solutions Architect • C1
In April 2026, the cybersecurity landscape experienced a permanent, structural shift with the disclosure of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5—the first frontier AI model natively capable of autonomous, multi-step vulnerability discovery, reverse-engineering, and zero-day exploit generation in production codebases. With federal agencies like CISA actively using Mythos to audit government software, and open-weight models like Z.ai's GLM-5.2 democratizing these capabilities globally, the window between vulnerability disclosure and automated corporate takeover has collapsed to minutes.
The legacy "Assume Breach" defensive paradigm—relying on human-led SOC alert triage and standard monthly patching SLAs—is dangerously obsolete. Security leaders must transition to an "Assume Exploitation" posture.
In this technical yet strategic session, Senior Solutions Architect, Lucas Persell, explores the anatomy of autonomous AI threat agents. Attendees will demystify how these agents orchestrate multi-file code execution, learn the three foundational pillars of modern post-Mythos defense (continuous reachability exposure management, zero-trust microsegmentation, and machine-speed autonomous response), and discover how to integrate automated playbooks to neutralize agentic threats at sub-second speeds.
