A new AI model named Mythos, developed by Anthropic, is dramatically shortening the time between a software vulnerability's discovery and its exploitation, creating what security experts call a critical 'kill zone.' Indian companies are particularly vulnerable, as many operate with slow patching cycles and limited automated security tools.
Caveat: Actual deployment of Mythos by malicious actors has not been confirmed, and the specific timeline compression figures have not been independently peer-reviewed.
Silver Lining: The threat creates a strong commercial incentive for Indian cybersecurity startups and managed security service providers to develop and sell AI-native defense platforms.
