Shadow AI: The Widening Governance Gap

Breakthroughs in frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.4-Cyber are changing the game for both offensive and defensive security, and most security teams aren’t prepared for what’s coming next.

Mythos signals a new reality: AI models can identify vulnerabilities in near real time. What once took days or weeks is now compressed into minutes, drastically shrinking the window between discovery and exploitation. At the same time, rapidly expanding attack surfaces are increasing exposure faster than most teams can manage.

In this session, CrowdStrike’s Elia Zaitsev, Global CTO, and Andrew Munchbach, VP of Global Enterprise Sales Engineering, will break down what this shift means for defenders with a five-step framework for frontier AI readiness. You’ll learn how to:
