  • HackerOne integrates Anthropic's Claude Mythos to enhance CTEM and security workflows.
  • Frontier AI accelerates vulnerability discovery but requires scalable validation and remediation.
  • Human expertise and cyber AI provide complementary layers for continuous security.

HackerOne has announced the integration of Anthropic's Claude Mythos into its H1 Platform for selected products, aiming to enhance security through the use of cutting-edge cyber artificial intelligence (AI). This integration will be featured in H1 Code Security Audit and H1 Code, enabling advanced vulnerability management processes that connect the discovery, validation, prioritisation, and remediation phases.

The cybersecurity landscape is seeing a rapid increase in the speed of identifying potential threats, though there remains a significant delay in validation and remediation actions. According to HackerOne, the average time to remediate critical vulnerabilities on their H1 Platform has improved by over 50% in the past year. Despite this progress, unresolved critical vulnerabilities have grown 29-fold during the same timeframe, illustrating the widening gap that frontier AI can both help and exacerbate.

Enhancing existing processes

Through this integration, the H1 Platform aims to provide an efficient way to validate and prioritise discovered vulnerabilities within existing engineering workflows.

The use of Mythos will facilitate improved coverage and validation of model outputs, with an emphasis on integrating actionable insights directly into the workflows. Nidhi Aggarwal, Chief Product Officer at HackerOne, highlighted the importance of the platform's harness, stating, "Frontier cyber AI models can do one of two things to a security team. It can hand them a longer list, or it can hand them a list they can act on."

Advanced vulnerability discovery

H1 Code Security Audit will leverage Claude Mythos to thoroughly scan code repositories

H1 Code Security Audit will leverage Claude Mythos to thoroughly scan code repositories, bringing to light complex vulnerabilities that may include extended compositional vulnerabilities across years of code commits.

Furthermore, H1 Code will enhance the review of pull requests, ensuring comprehensive threat detection. Kara Sprague, Chief Executive Officer at HackerOne, emphasised the importance of advanced models in defending against AI-driven attacks, stating, "Finding vulnerabilities faster matters only if organisations can validate, prioritise, and act on them."

Complementary approach to security

HackerOne stresses the importance of having multiple layers of security, combining the capabilities of frontier cyber AI with the skills and experience of human security researchers. This collaboration is intended to cover complex attack chains and provide real-world contextual insights. Additionally, HackerOne has made it clear that it does not use confidential researcher submissions or customer vulnerability data to develop or enhance its AI models.

The selected H1 Platform offerings will soon be available with the Mythos integration. Users interested in HackerOne's experiences with Mythos as part of Project Glasswing or in learning more about the H1 Platform can find further information on their official website.
