Anthropic's Claude Mythos has demonstrated that AI can be leveraged to identify vulnerabilities and develop exploits faster than ever. Here is what that means for how you defend.

Advanced threats rarely break into infrastructure in obvious ways. In many cases, they remain hidden for months, exploiting blind spots created by unmanaged personal devices (BYOD), applications adopted without the IT department’s oversight (shadow IT), unauthorized access points, or compromised devices operating as part of botnets. As networks evolve into hybrid environments and most traffic is encrypted, the context becomes fragmented and the attack surface expands.

Staying ahead of sophisticated attackers requires a security platform that evolves at the speed of the threat landscape. Today’s attackers are AI-enabled, increasing the number of attacks and targeting vulnerabilities more quickly than ever. That's why we are excited to announce the Corelight Sensor v.29 release, a significant step forward in our mission to provide critical detections backed by the world's best network evidence.

As we close out the first quarter of 2026, I find myself reflecting on a start to the year that was defined by product momentum, stronger market validation, growing trust from regulated organizations, and meaningful industry recognition. In just three months, AlgoSec introduced important platform enhancements, published fresh research on where network security is heading, strengthened its standing with government and highly regulated customers, and closed the quarter with three major awards.

On April 4, 2026, Fortinet released a hotfix for a critical vulnerability in FortiClient EMS (CVE-2026-35616) that allows unauthenticated remote threat actors to execute unauthorized code or commands via crafted requests. The flaw stems from improper access control in the API authentication. Fortinet has confirmed observing exploitation of CVE-2026-35616 in the wild. The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed by Defused, which had observed exploitation prior to Fortinet’s official disclosure.
