What’s Next for the Enterprise After Two GenAI Tidal Waves? by Oliver Tavakoli

At RSA 2026 the dominant theme was GenAI; the report outlines how frontier models (Anthropic's Mythos, OpenAI's GPT-5.4-Cyber) can automatically find and exploit vulnerabilities, creating a near-term patch race and expanding attacker capability. It argues that perfect pre-release security is unrealistic, highlights risks from social engineering and misconfigurations, and recommends practical defensive priorities—rapid patching, tightened policies/Zero Trust, attack-surface management, and strong detection (NDR across on-prem, cloud, identity, SaaS, edge, IoT/OT)—while positioning Vectra AI as a tool to detect attacker behavior when prevention fails.
