Frontier AI: Vulnerability Management's Systemic Revolution
Summary: Frontier AI models such as Anthropic's Mythos can identify zero-day flaws, chain complex exploits, and adapt in real time, and the article says many vulnerability management programs are not ready for them. It argues that CVSS scores alone are insufficient, that EPSS and CISA's KEV list are now table stakes, and that patching must move to automated, ring-based deployment at machine speed.
Key Takeaway: Programs already carrying vulnerability backlogs that stretched for miles now face exploits generated at machine speed, and the article warns that raising patching velocity will force hard conversations with business stakeholders about uptime requirements before incidents do it for them.
