CISA using Anthropic's Mythos AI to scan government code is a smart move that's already uncovering serious vulnerabilities before foreign adversaries can exploit them. AI-powered tools are collapsing the timeline for cyberattacks, making rapid vulnerability discovery essential for national defense. Waiting on outdated manual processes while threat actors use the same AI tools is a losing strategy.
CISA doesn't even have access to Mythos Preview, the very model it supposedly relies on for cyber defense, while the agency has lost a third of its workforce and faces a $707 million budget cut. Anthropic gave access to over 40 private organizations but left the country's top cyber defense agency on the outside. Gutting CISA while AI-powered attacks accelerate is a recipe for catastrophic infrastructure failures.
