Executive Summary
A webinar promotion argues AI lets attackers using models like Mythos write bait, pick targets and move between hosts in minutes, outpacing human-speed defences.
What Happened
AI has changed how fast attacks move. Work that once took an attacker days now takes minutes. Using models like Mythos, attackers write tailored bait, pick targets, test what lands, and jump to the next host before your team clears the first alert. That is the gap, and it is not your fault. The tools and runbooks most teams run on were built for attackers who work at human speed. AI-driven
