The Mythos Era and the Rise of Autonomous AI Attacks

What happens when AI-powered attacks move faster than human-led security operations?

Join CS4Cyber for a timely virtual session with Mike Wilkes, former CISO for Major League Soccer and cybersecurity leader across global brands including Marvel, ING Bank, Sony, and Macy’s.

This conversation will explore the emerging Mythos Era: a new cybersecurity reality shaped by autonomous AI threats, machine-speed attacks, and the limits of traditional AppSec and governance models.

The session is based on Mike’s recent article, “Security Metamorphosis: A Mythos-Ready Architecture Checklist for Autonomous AI Attacks.” We encourage attendees to read it in advance and come prepared with questions.

What We’ll Explore

1. Why traditional AppSec and governance models are struggling under AI-driven complexity
2. What a “Mythos-ready” security architecture really means
3. How autonomous attacks may reshape cybersecurity operations and risk management
4. Practical steps CISOs and post-sales leaders should consider now
5. The organizational and leadership shifts required for the AI security era
