'Take A Breath:' A CISO's Claude Mythos Advice For CIOs
TechTarget, Thursday, May 28th, 2026
A CISO advises CIOs to address security debt and gain visibility into AI adoption rather than panic over Claude Mythos vulnerabilities.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos announcement has raised concerns among CIOs about AI-driven vulnerability discovery, but CISO Diana Kelley advises taking a measured approach.
She recommends that organizations use AI tools themselves to find vulnerabilities proactively, address accumulated technical security debt, and improve collaboration between CIOs and CISOs.
Beyond Mythos, Kelley emphasizes the need for visibility and control over AI tool adoption across the organization, as employees using tools like Copilot or Gemini can create new attack surfaces.
She advises communicating AI risks to boards in business terms rather than headlines, focusing on balancing rapid AI adoption with appropriate risk management through visibility, collaboration, and proper controls.
