Frontier AI: Revolutionizing Vulnerability Management and Patching

Frontier AI models, such as Anthropic’s Mythos, are transforming vulnerability management by identifying zero-day flaws, chaining complex exploits, and adapting in real time. This forces organizations to rethink their vulnerability and patch management programs, moving beyond traditional CVSS, EPSS, and KEV prioritization toward exposure management and automated, ring-based patching. The article, contributed by SANS Certified Instructor Kevin Garvey, highlights the need for systemic change and introduces the LDR516 course at SANS DC Metro September 2026 and SANS Dallas 2026.
