Tech industry alliances spread to counter AI-driven threats
Moves to find countermeasures through cooperation are gaining momentum as concerns spread over cyber intrusions tied to using AI models to discover software vulnerabilities. Anthropic introduced its Project Glasswing programme, and OpenAI launched the AI-based cybersecurity initiative Daybreak. Palo Alto Networks rolled out Frontier AI Defense and said it found 75 vulnerabilities in its products within a month of using models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Governments and institutions are also seeking access.

Palo Alto Networks says Mythos finds vulnerabilities in 3 weeks matching a year of manual penetration testing
Palo Alto Networks introduced its Frontier AI Defense initiative, saying AI-driven cyber threats have entered a new phase after testing frontier models. The company said three weeks of AI-assisted analysis matched a year of manual penetration testing. It also flagged exploit chaining that links low-risk flaws into critical attack paths and said AI-assisted attacks cut the time from initial access to data theft to 25 minutes. It warned most organisations lack visibility into employee-created code as local AI agents spread.

AI-driven cyber threats spread, boosting calls for bigger role for security firms
Concerns are growing that AI models such as Anthropic’s Mythos could be abused for cyberattacks, while hacking incidents linked to AI supply chains have emerged. That has strengthened expectations that security firms’ growth potential will rise, a view that appears to be supporting major security stocks. Companies including CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks have posted gains over the past month, outpacing a software-focused BlackRock IGV index.
