- Palo Alto Networks tech chief Lee Klarich said companies need to step up cybersecurity defenses to immediately prepare for AI attacks.
- Klarich said there is now a “narrow three-to-five-month window” for businesses to get ahead of AI-driven exploits.
- New models, such as Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Cyber, are making it easier for hackers to exploit unknown software vulnerabilities.
tech chief Lee Klarich said companies are losing time to step up software defenses as hackers increasingly exploit vulnerabilities with the help of artificial intelligence models.
“We now estimate a narrow three-to-five-month window for organizations to outpace the adversary before AI-driven exploits start to become the new norm,” he wrote in a blog post on Wednesday. “This impending vulnerability deluge demands urgency.”
The rise of increasingly sophisticated AI models such as Anthropic’s Mythos has raised the stakes, putting pressure on cybersecurity teams to step up their defenses as they brace for a wave of cyberattacks capable of exploiting previously unknown software vulnerabilities. The concerns have led to White House meetings with bank leaders and technology giants…
