Pivotal Moment: Capitalize on Mythos Hype to Fix Your Exposure and Vulnerability Management
Frontier AI models like Anthropic's Mythos have put a new spotlight on an old, unresolved gap. Attacker timelines have always outpaced human-centered vulnerability management. We think the latest Gartner research argues this moment isn't cause for panic. It's leverage to finally redesign exposure management around time, scale, and decision velocity.
Organizations still take more than 50 days on average to remediate critical vulnerabilities. Attackers, meanwhile, increasingly weaponize and exploit at machine speed. That gap leaves business-critical assets exposed far longer than necessary.
Exposure Window: The amount of time critical assets remain exploitable relative to attacker timelines.
In this Gartner report, analysts explain why security leaders should move beyond static severity scoring and focus on reducing exploitable exposure before attackers can act. They also show how to use this moment of AI attention to reset long-overdue exposure management priorities.
Our key takeaways from the report:
Get the Gartner report to see why security leaders are rethinking vulnerability management around attacker speed, validated exposure, and time-based risk reduction, not AI hype alone.
