How to know if your agents are correct with Dylan Williams

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as we explore AI agent evaluation with Dylan Williams, Co-founder and Chief Research Officer of Spectrum Security. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

OpenAI Revokes macOS Code Signing Cert After Axios Supply Chain Hit [Actions Required]

Something big just happened in the cybersecurity world. And if you’re using OpenAI’s macOS apps… this affects you directly. OpenAI has rotated its macOS code-signing certificates after a supply chain attack quietly slipped into its workflow. No, your data wasn’t stolen. But yes, this is serious enough that every macOS user must update before May 8, 2026.

Beyond patching: Building a Mythos-ready security program

When Anthropic revealed the existence of Mythos, the frontier AI model they deemed too dangerous for public release, the security community was alarmed. And it’s not hard to see why: Mythos is capable of detecting software vulnerabilities at a previously unimaginable scale, and autonomously crafting exploits to weaponize these flaws. According to Anthropic, Mythos created 181 exploits of Firefox in testing, ninety times more than the company’s previous model (Claude Opus 4.6).

Early Results From KnowBe4's AI Agents Show Easier Administration and Lower Cyber Risk

You often hear companies touting that they are AI enabled. But most do not give you the results of how that new AI stacks up with their previous non-AI offerings. We have some early data and want to share it. KnowBe4 was the first Human Risk Management (HRM) vendor to use AI. While our competitors have been touting the use of AI only since 2023 at the earliest, we have been using machine learning (ML), the backbone workhorse of AI, since early 2016 – for a decade!

Claude Mythos, Project Glasswing, and the Machine-Speed Security Race

Anthropic’s latest Claude news shows how AI is compressing the time from vulnerability discovery to credentialed lateral movement, and why security teams need behavior-based detection across humans and AI agents. Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, announced on April 7, 2026, gives selected partners early access to Claude Mythos Preview for defensive cybersecurity work. Anthropic says the model has already identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure.

What Makes AI Agents Different from Traditional Automation Tools?

With the growing buzz around artificial intelligence, many businesses still struggle to separate hype from reality. Everywhere you look, tools are labeled as "AI-powered," yet a large portion of them are simply upgraded versions of traditional automation. This creates confusion for decision-makers who are trying to understand whether they truly need AI or if their existing systems are already sufficient.

Scaling Your Security Program to Match the Speed of Mythos

Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and the Claude Mythos model represents a fundamental change in the physics of cyber defense. With the gap between patch releases and weaponized exploits shrinking to hours, traditional manual security triage is now obsolete. Organizations must adopt AI-driven automated remediation.

EU AI Act Compliance: Requirements, Risks, and What to Document

→ Audit your AI systems against EU AI Act requirements now — validate Annex IV technical documentation, logging, and data governance. The initial August 2025 compliance date has passed, and full penalties begin in August 2026. → Build a continuous compliance evidence chain — document risk management across the full lifecycle (design, development, deployment, and post-market monitoring).

Rogue AI App Use

HungryClaw… OpenLobster… KrillBox? Shout out to @AlexisGay for shining a light on the fact that shadow IT tools are getting more (shell)fishy—and dangerous—by the minute. According to our own findings, within 90 days of connecting to Vanta, organizations discover ~140 shadow IT tools accessing their environment. That's a lot of claws grabbing at your data. More insights to come! Stay tuned for our new Trust Signals series.
