Surviving the ThunderDome: Strategies for the Post Glasswing-Mythos World

Speakers
  • Fosty · Jonathan Foster, Solutions Engineer Cisco Systems

The rules of the arena just changed.

Anthropic's Project Glasswing quietly handed frontier AI — Claude Mythos Preview — to a small circle of trusted organizations for cybersecurity use. The implications cut both ways. Defenders who understand what Mythos-tier AI makes possible gain an asymmetric advantage. Those who don't are already behind.

This session rips back the curtain on what Glasswing actually is, why Mythos was kept out of public hands, and what it means that adversaries are racing toward the same capabilities. We'll move fast through the new threat landscape — AI-accelerated phishing, autonomous vulnerability chaining, adaptive malware, and identity impersonation at machine scale — and spend the bulk of our time where it matters most: survival strategies that actually work.

Fighting AI with AI. Hardening identity before it becomes the breach. Shrinking blast radius because assume-breach isn't a philosophy anymore, it's a schedule.

You'll leave with a concrete, Monday-morning playbook — not a vendor pitch, not a framework slide. Just the moves that keep defenders standing when the ThunderDome gets loud.

Two people enter. Let's make sure you're the one who walks out.
