    Cybersecurity looks like proof of work now

    Advanced AI models like Anthropic's Mythos have fundamentally changed cybersecurity economics, making security strength directly proportional to computational spending rather than defensive cleverness. Organizations must now budget for continuous AI-driven security audits that consume massive token budgets (e.g., $125K for comprehensive testing) to find vulnerabilities before attackers do, creating a 'proof of work' arms race. This shift makes open-source software dependencies more strategically valuable due to community-wide security investment, while internal code will require a new three-phase development lifecycle incorporating expensive autonomous hardening phases.
