Today's escalating threat comes from powerful attacker tooling such as Mythos, which strings together attacks that turn simple, low-level vulnerabilities into critical threats at machine speed.

The speed of compromise has shifted from months to minutes, forcing a reckoning with existing security posture. The threat has moved through a phase change rather than a simple rise in volume. The industry long tolerated a security debt on the basis of a tacit agreement with attackers that afforded time for remediation, and AI-driven tooling has now voided that agreement.
