Blogg: AI is transforming cybersecurity

Summarized for you:

AI agents are changing how cyber threats emerge and evolve, at a faster pace and with more autonomy than before. In this article, you’ll get a picture of what this development means, why traditional methods fall short, and what capabilities will be crucial going forward.

Claude Code and Claude Mythos are two examples of how rapidly AI is evolving in this area. Claude Code is a tool that allows developers to use AI directly in their coding environment to automate and streamline development work. Claude Mythos is a more advanced system, developed to identify security flaws in complex environments. What makes this development particularly relevant from a security perspective is that the same type of technology can be used both to strengthen security and to scale up attacks.

Claude Mythos has shown an ability to identify critical vulnerabilities in code reviewed by humans for over 27 years, already on the first try. The major difference now is the speed, scale, and degree of autonomy. AI-driven attacks no longer happen at human pace, but at machine speed.

When traditional methods are no longer sufficient

This development means that established methods in vulnerability management and patching quickly become inadequate. Monthly patch windows, manual processes, and limited visibility over endpoints today imply significantly higher risk than before. When the threat landscape moves in real time, your security work must do the same—fast and continuously.

What’s required to reduce the risks?

To meet the new reality, you need:

Real-time overview of your entire endpoint environment
Ability to quickly identify and prioritize critical vulnerabilities
Automated patching and remediation at scale
Shorter exposure time from detection to action
Conditions for a more proactive security approach
From reactive to continuous security

As a strategic partner to Tanium, Advania helps businesses shift from reactive to continuous security work. By combining Tanium’s platform for Autonomous Patch Management with Advania’s expertise in cybersecurity, IT operations, and transformation, you gain better control over your environment and the ability to act in real time.

This makes it possible to reduce exposure time from days to hours and create a more resilient IT environment.

Cybersecurity in the AI era

The development around Claude Mythos is a clear sign that cybersecurity is entering a new era. It’s no longer enough to react quickly. You need to build the capability to work continuously, automated, and data-driven.
