AI‑driven vulnerability discovery has entered a new phase; one where the time between finding a flaw and exploiting it has collapsed from months to hours. The Cloud Security Alliance’s Mythos CISO report outlines a rapidly accelerating threat landscape and the urgent need for organizations to rethink risk, patching, governance, and operational readiness.
Join ISACA San Diego on June 18 for a multi‑disciplinary panel discussion moderated by Matt Stamper, bringing together leaders from business, technical, and academic domains to break down what the Mythos report means for real‑world cybersecurity programs.
Our panel will explore:
How AI models like Mythos are reshaping vulnerability management (vulnerability response)
What CISOs must change immediately to stay ahead
Business‑level impacts on risk, governance, and board communication
Technical realities of defending at “machine speed”
Academic and workforce implications for the next generation of security leaders
Practical steps organizations must take in the next 3-6 months
Whether you’re a CISO, security practitioner, auditor, engineer, or student, this session will help you understand the strategic, operational, and cultural shifts required to build a Mythos‑ready security program.
