Mythos Didn't Break Your Security Program. Your Exposure Window Could.

**Executive summary:** This article argues that the critical metric for modern vulnerability risk is the "exposure window"—the time between a vulnerability becoming exploitable and being fixed—and that AI-driven discovery (e.g., Mythos) has widened that gap by producing many more findings faster than organizations can mobilize remediation; it recommends shifting focus to reducing blast radius via attack-path analysis and adopting speed-based metrics used by SOCs to prioritize fixes that protect critical assets.
