Anthropic’s Mythos, a new AI model the company and cybersecurity experts warn could supercharge complex cyberattacks, ​poses significant challenges to the banking industry with its legacy technology systems, experts said in the days following the model’s announcement.
The model, announced April 7, is the ‌company’s “most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks,” the company said in a blog post, referring to the model’s ability to act autonomously.
Its capabilities to code at a high level have given it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities and devise ways to exploit them, experts said.
That’s a particular problem for banks and other financial institutions, which run technology stacks that integrate state-of-the-art tools with decades-old software, potentially opening a large number of vulnerabilities, according to ​TJ Marlin, the chief executive of enterprise AI security firm Guardrail Technologies.
Marlin said Mythos Preview can “look across a very complex architecture, including this legacy infrastructure where, frankly, these undiscovered vulnerabilities ​and complexities are now accessible and threat factors.”
