I think the first things our friends at Anthropic and OpenEye should have done, which I've told them, is point your models at your own sandbox.

to make sure your sandbox doesn't have any zero-day vulnerabilities and make sure your sandbox is your first capture-of-the-flag exercise.

But they decided to give a target to say, go out in the wild, persist, take as long as you want, and go capture a flag.

So fine, we have these models which have these capabilities.

The challenge we have from a cybersecurity perspective is we're finding vulnerabilities which would take us days, months to find.

the average time to a patch of vulnerability or zero-day vulnerability found in the wild is 55 days.

Just think about that.

These things are finding vulnerabilities in split seconds and then turning around and building an attack on the back of that.

So I think the fundamental speed at which cyber attacks will happen and need to be defended changes.

And this is good.

For us, it's kind of like the sound of revenue.

But I think from a more fundamental perspective, I was thinking this capability is going to show up in six months.

I think I said that with you, Hari.

And it showed up in four months.

I think in two, three months from now, open source have distilled all these capabilities.

We'll find open source models out there, which you can find to you if you're an attacker, to actually do this on a task basis.

So it's going to change the game.

Sure.

The good news is the flex that Anthropic did with Mythos has every CEO talking about Mythos.

I spent eight years trying to get CEOs to talk about cybersecurity.
