To quickly identify vulnerabilities, authorities also called on companies to use AI tools to continuously scan for misconfigurations and weak credentials across their infrastructure.

“AI-powered attacks can weaponise newly disclosed vulnerabilities within hours, making rapid patch deployment critical to prevent mass exploitation,” said the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA).

CSA urges Singapore firms to strengthen cybersecurity after Anthropic began testing its latest AI model, Claude Mythos, which reportedly found vulnerabilities in every major browser and operating system. @straits_times @AnthropicAI @CSAsingapore #cybersecurity #singapore
