30 days with Claude Mythos Preview: How Tenable adapted our security program, and why yours is next

Tenable Blog · Blake Kizer · indexed 2026-08-15 18:55 UTC

Tenable spent 30 days running frontier AI models against our own code. It didn’t just find bugs — it proved they’re real, with reproducible exploits. That fundamentally changes code security from ranking potential code defects to a much higher signal focused on the findings that matter. Read on to learn how it reshaped our security team's work, what it cost, and why your program is next.Key takeaways:Now code security starts with proof, not suspicions.

IDC has named Rapid7 a Leader in the 2026 Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Service for Midmarket 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US52992326, July 2026). We believe this recognition and research highlights where MDR is heading.Many security programs are still built around a reactive sequence of detect, triage, and respond, but the timelines surrounding modern attacks have changed too quickly for that model to hold up on its own.

The Next Evolution of MDR: Preemptive Defense and Agentic Investigation

Rapid7 · Mikayla Wyman · indexed 2026-08-15 18:55 UTC

For years, security operations followed a familiar sequence: detect suspicious activity, investigate what happened, and respond before it caused significant harm. That model developed in a threat landscape where defenders had considerably more time to establish the facts and decide what to do next. In 2019, the average data breach took 206 days to identify and another 73 days to contain, creating a total breach lifecycle of 279 days.As the time between initial access and attacker movement conti…

Defending Your Enterprise When AI Models Can Find Vulnerabilities Faster Than Ever

Google Threat Intelligence / Mandiant · Francis deSouza · indexed 2026-08-15 18:55 UTC

Introduction Advances in AI model-powered exploitation have demonstrated that general-purpose AI models can excel at vulnerability discovery, even without being purpose-built for the task. Eventually, capabilities such as these will be integrated directly into the development cycle, and code will be more difficult to exploit than ever; however, this transition creates a critical window of risk. As we harden existing software with AI, threat actors will use it to discover and exploit novel vulne…
