Mythos and the Future of Identity Attack Paths

Anthropic’s Mythos announcement points to a near-term future of faster exploit discovery, faster compromise, and greater pressure on defenders. Join Jared Atkinson and Justin Kohler on April 22 as they examine what Mythos means for both attackers and defenders, why identity attack paths matter more in a machine-speed threat environment, and how organizations can better protect critical assets and infrastructure. Register today.

New Episode: Know Your Adversary

Check out the latest episode of the Know Your Adversary podcast and hear from Javier Azofra Ovejero from Siemens Healthineers. The conversation focuses on how security gaps emerge between systems like Active Directory, Entra ID, and CyberArk. Javier explains how his team built a BloodHound OpenGraph integration (CyberArkHound) to connect these platforms and uncover hidden attack paths that weren’t visible in isolation.

2026-03-26v8.9.1No releaseNo release
This release resolves the following issues:
  • Resolved several issues that could cause analysis to fail.
  • Resolved an issue preventing Cypher queries on PostgreSQL from respecting minimum and maximum path length limits.
  • Resolved an issue where certain Cypher path queries on PostgreSQL could be slower than expected due to an inefficient edge-to-path join pattern.
