The Security Interviews: A Post-Mythos Reality Check
Computer Weekly, Tuesday, October 13th, 2026
AWS's Rudra Mitra says frontier models like Claude Mythos force security to respond at machine speed.
Computer Weekly's Cliff Saran talks to Rudra Mitra, AWS vice-president of security services, about cybersecurity in the 'post-Mythos era'.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos, unveiled in April 2026, showed how quickly frontier AI can find and weaponize vulnerabilities, collapsing the gap between discovery and exploitation.
Mitra argues that the old approach of collecting telemetry for dashboards can't keep up, so defenses must also move at machine speed.
He describes AWS Continuum, a model-agnostic tool that automates vulnerability scanning and patch prioritization across the code vulnerability lifecycle, alongside layered defenses and responsible disclosure.
