In cybersecurity, speed is everything. The faster a vulnerability is found and rectified, the safer the data is. For years, human expertise was needed to do this. Now, Artificial Intelligence can identify hidden vulnerabilities and write the code to patch them in hours, compressing a process that once took teams of experts days or weeks. But what happens when the same AI increases the risk? The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that while AI could strengthen cyber defence, it could also make cyberattacks faster, cheaper, and accessible even to non-experts. The risks are particularly serious for the financial sector, which relies heavily on shared digital infrastructure like software, cloud services, payment networks, and interconnected databases.

Mythos is a large language model developed with general-purpose reasoning, coding, and autonomous tasks. This makes it great at identifying security vulnerabilities, but experts and the tech company …
