Hello everyone, I'm Irish Spring. I lead Sales Engineering for Illumio Commercial and Americas Partner Engineering.

Over the last few months, I've seen a huge increase in conversations around Mythos and what it means for cybersecurity. Our partners are getting questions from customers at every level, from security architects to CISOs to corporate boards. The concern isn't just AI itself. It's what happens when AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and attack execution to machine speed.

What I've found interesting is that many of our partners aren't leading with prevention anymore. They're focusing on cyber resilience. The reality is that if AI compresses the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, defenders need to assume breach and focus on limiting impact. As Illumio has been saying, you may not be able to stop every breach, but you can stop breaches from becoming disasters. AI changes the speed of attacks, but it doesn't change the physics of an attack. Attackers still need to move laterally. [illumio.com], [Mythos Fact Sheet | PDF], [Mythos - I...ing Points | PDF]

That's why Illumio feels like a natural part of many Frontier AI security strategies. Zero Trust Segmentation, breach containment, attack path visibility, and reducing blast radius are becoming increasingly important as organizations rethink how they defend against AI-powered threats. When prevention fails, containment determines whether a breach is survivable. [Illumio_My...une_2_2026 | PowerPoint], [Mythos - I...esentation | PDF], [illumio.com]

I'm curious what others are seeing in the field.

• Partners: Are you building a Frontier AI security practice?
• Customers: Are you looking for partners to help implement a containment-first strategy?
• Practitioners: How are your organizations adapting to the Mythos era?

Looking forward to hearing your perspectives.
