Security Fuels What AI Makes Possible

Artificial intelligence is reshaping every sector. It’s accelerating innovation, transforming operations, and redefining how organizations compete. As AI scales, speeds up, and becomes more sophisticated, it also amplifies risk. AI-powered threats are more automated, adaptive, and complex than ever before, requiring organizations to rethink how they build, deploy, and protect emerging technologies.

Cybersecurity is not a constraint on AI innovation; it is the condition that enables sustainable innovation. 

Organizations embedding AI into their security operations are seeing faster threat detection, automated response, lower breach costs, and stronger resilience. But technology alone isn’t enough — digital readiness depends on skilled professionals who can responsibly govern and guide AI. The future belongs to organizations that harness both artificial and human intelligence to protect infrastructure, safeguard data, and build trust at scale.

At the Catalyst, we advance the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and workforce development to help organizations innovate boldly and build lasting resilience.

Mythos Unpacked: What this New and Powerful AI Means for Cybersecurity

The cybersecurity landscape changed earlier this month. Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos, an AI model so capable at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities that the company refused to release it publicly. In weeks of testing, it identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser. Some of those bugs had been sitting undetected for decades.

Join us for Mythos Unpacked: What this New and Powerful AI Means for Cybersecurity, where leading voices will unpack what Mythos is, what it signals, and what organizations need to do to stay ahead.

Panelists for this webinar include Adam Evans, Senior Vice President & CISO, RBC; Lee Weiner, CEO, TrojAI and Fion Lee-Madan, Co-founder, Asenion, and will be moderated by Catalyst Founding Executive Director, Charles Finlay.
