Mythos, Memory Loss, and the Part InfoSec Keeps Missing

Mythos materially accelerates vulnerability discovery and exploit triage, but the author argues defenders should not panic: the primary operational risks for most organizations remain basic exposure and remediation failures (phishing, stolen credentials, exposed edge services, weak identity, known vulnerabilities, and poor segmentation). The piece recommends focusing on patch velocity, reducing reachable attack surface, improving identity and segmentation, and investing in remediation capacity rather than centering defenses solely on autonomous zero-day scenarios.
