What happened
On Sept 22, 2026 Unit 42 launched Continuous Frontier AI Defense, an always-on offensive-security subscription using tightly-controlled gated frontier models (Anthropic Claude Mythos 5, OpenAI GPT-5.6-Cyber, plus open-weight) to continuously scan web apps, APIs and cloud for vulnerabilities, producing code-level fixes and virtual-patching guidance.
Why it matters
First subscription-grade, always-on AI red-team service from a major vendor aimed at matching machine-speed attacker exploitation; pilots found high/critical issues in every org tested.
Applicability
Enterprises under aggressive external attack surface exposure should evaluate an annual subscription; priced by model configuration.
