Cybersecurity Today Month in Review of March/April 2026
Cybersecurity Today Month-in-Review: RSAC AI Hype, Agentic Risks, Mythos Claims, and Real-World Resilience
Jim Love hosts a delayed March month-in-review with panelists David Shipley and Laura Payne, starting with RSAC takeaways: agentic AI everywhere, heightened marketing spectacle, and industry tension as AI becomes the new "cool kid." They discuss the surge of autonomous agents, including OpenClaw-style experimentation leading to stolen tokens and the ease of social-engineering LLMs, plus legal and brand risks of chatbots after the Air Canada precedent. The panel debates Anthropic's source-code leak and "Mythos" messaging, while acknowledging AI tools are finding real zero-days amid massive technical debt and rising exploit speed, raising questions about liability and EU accountability. They highlight a positive case: Stryker Medical's rapid recovery after 80,000 devices were wiped via Intune settings, and note additional incidents targeting healthcare, critical infrastructure PLCs, supply-chain attacks, and longer-term impacts from major source-code thefts.
