This week, Anthropic shipped its first public release of a large language model, Fable 5, based on its Mythos 5 frontier model. Mythos has been a hot topic of discussion in the tech industry, given it excels at finding software vulnerabilities – making it both a potentially useful resource for defenders and a potential accelerant for attackers. Todd Thiemann, principal analyst at Omdia, shares insights from his research into identity management and data security for AI and how enterprise agentic AI security should meet the Mythos moment.
Featuring: Todd Thiemann, principal analyst, Omdia
In today’s episode, we’ll cover…
Mythos 5, Fable 5 and their cybersecurity implications
Fighting AI attacks with AI defenses
Balancing the security risks of using AI and of being vulnerable to AI
How AI governance might factor into AI ROI
And more!
