Getting Real About Vulnerability Management and the Mythos Moment with Hacker Valley Studio
/2 min read/
Is the latest AI-driven vulnerability surge a tidal wave or a stress test for your program?
The cybersecurity landscape recently shifted with the release of Anthropic’s Mythos model—an AI capable of uncovering decades-old zero-days at machine speed. For security teams already struggling with "smart chaos," this isn't just another headline; it’s a massive expansion of the attack surface.
In this episode of Hacker Valley Studio, Ron Eddings sits down with Brinqa’s CEO, Dan Pagel, and CSO & COO, Brad Hibbert, to move past the hype. They discuss how to evolve from foundational vulnerability management to a proactive Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework that can handle the speed of AI.
What You’ll Learn:
- The Mythos Impact: Why 30,000 new findings across every operating system don’t necessarily mean you’re at immediate risk.
- Moving Beyond MTTR: Why traditional burn-down rates are failing and why risk-based prioritization is the only way to find what truly matters in your unique environment.
- The Gap Between Security and Ops: How "explainability" and better data can reduce friction and accelerate remediation.
- Human-on-the-Loop: Why the future of exposure management requires moving from manual approvals to autonomous remediation supported by high-confidence data.
Vulnerability Management is Foundational. Exposure Management is the Evolution
Legacy tools are being outpaced by machine-speed discovery. Brinqa helps organizations unify data from over 250 connectors to provide a "golden record" of exposure, allowing you to focus on the 50 findings that actually threaten your business, rather than the 50,000 that don't.
“It’s not a time to panic, but it’s a time to get prepared. You’ve gotta move at the speed at which AI is moving.”
— Dan Pagel, CEO at Brinqa
