iCONIC 2026 | Vulnerability Management in the age of Agentic AI, Fact vs. Mythos

Speaker: Mike Ryan, Senior Director, Solutions Architecture, iON and Rohan Butt, Solutions Architect, iON

In this session, Mike Ryan and Rohan Butt examine the reality behind Anthropic’s Claude Mythos announcement and what AI-driven vulnerability discovery means for modern security operations.

The session explores how AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and offensive security research, while also exposing major challenges in remediation timelines, governance, and operational readiness. Mike and Rohan explain why the real bottleneck is no longer finding vulnerabilities, but fixing them fast enough.

They also discuss emerging concepts like Vulnerability Operations (VulnOps), AI-assisted defense, and automation-driven remediation, while providing practical guidance for organizations preparing for machine-speed threat environments.
