# AppSec in the Age of Mythos

 Embedded, agentic, SDLC-native security has never been more important.

Anthropic’s recent Mythos announcement marks a turning point for application security. Capabilities that once seemed theoretical are now enabling AI to uncover and weaponize vulnerabilities in minutes, reshaping both the speed and scale of modern threats.rnrnFor security teams, this fundamentally changes the landscape. Organizations must now operate under the assumption of near-instant vulnerability discovery, faster paths to exploitation, and dramatically lower costs for attackers. At the same time, AI-generated code and AI-assisted development are increasing both the volume and complexity of software that needs to be secured.rnrnThis webinar explores what this shift means in practice. Join Checkmarx experts as we break down how AI is transforming the SDLC, what new risks are emerging, and how enterprises can evolve their AppSec strategies to stay ahead.
