AI can find weaknesses in your defenses faster than most teams can fix them.

In its August 2026 report, Gartner examines how frontier AI models such as Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview are reshaping infrastructure vulnerability management. Early evaluations show these models finding both known and previously undiscovered weaknesses at scale. Gartner explains why remediation, not just discovery, is now the primary bottleneck, and what cybersecurity leaders should do to keep pace.

In this report, you will learn:

• How frontier AI models are changing vulnerability discovery across cloud and on-premises infrastructure
• Why using frontier models without a proper harness can drive runaway costs and overwhelming volumes of findings
• Where Gartner recommends starting with auto-remediation, including unused IAM roles and overly permissive firewall rules

Why we're sharing this research

Faster discovery only helps if you can act on what's found. Many of the fixes Gartner suggests starting with live in the configuration of the security controls you already own. That's the work Reach was built for: understanding the true state of your controls, prioritizing what matters, and making changes safely, with human review wherever you want it.
