Mythos-class AI has significantly reduced the time from vulnerability disclosure to exploitability, compressing it from weeks to hours. Security teams are now challenged to validate the exploitability of newly disclosed CVEs in real-time, as traditional testing cycles lag behind. The recent shift in prioritizing exploitability over CVSS scores, as mandated by CISA's BOD 26-04, emphasizes the urgency for organizations to adapt their security strategies. The webinar hosted by Ishak Celikkanat from Picus aims to demonstrate how teams can effectively assess vulnerabilities against real controls, even when direct exploitation is not feasible. This new approach is crucial as environments evolve rapidly, often within minutes, while testing processes remain static. The session will provide insights into the validation loop that can help close the time gap in security responses. Attendees will learn to determine whether their assets are exposed and how to map vulnerabilities to attack techniques efficiently.
