What happened
SANS Institute, Cloud Security Alliance, [un]prompted, and the OWASP GenAI Security Project jointly released 'The AI Vulnerability Storm: Building a Mythos-Ready Security Program' — a free emergency strategy briefing produced over a weekend by 60+ contributors and reviewed by 250+ CISOs. It provides a framework for responding to AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery and exploitation.
Why it matters
The briefing includes a 13-item risk register mapped to four industry frameworks (OWASP LLM Top 10 2025, OWASP Agentic Top 10 2026, MITRE ATLAS, NIST CSF 2.0), an 11-item priority actions table with aggressive timelines, 10 diagnostic questions for CISOs, and a board-ready executive briefing section. It operationalises the response to compressed exploit timelines.
Action needed
CISOs should immediately download and work through the 10 diagnostic questions. Priority actions span immediate, 45-day, and 90-day horizons including: deploying LLM-based security review into CI/CD pipelines, formalising AI agent use across security functions, preparing for simultaneous patch surges, and updating risk models based on pre-AI exploit timeline assumptions.
