As policymakers debate the case for sweeping new AI guardrails, the world isn’t waiting.

It’s making a beeline for the cybersecurity industry’s services.

This week, the company unveiled a new “Continuous Frontier AI Defense” that employs a handful of models including Mythos 5 and GPT-5.6-Cyber.

Meanwhile, both OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei urged the United Nations Security Council this week to adopt new AI safety standards.
