We live in a new world: Frontier AI models, including Claude Mythos, can identify and exploit software vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed. Preemptive discovery gives defenders a new opportunity to find and fix weaknesses before attackers can exploit them. This changing landscape has direct implications for network operators. As vulnerability discovery accelerates, operational teams need a consistent way to assess exposure, understand operational risk, and move from security findings to effective remediation.
Drawing on its early access to Mythos, Arista has incorporated AI-assisted vulnerability discovery into its security and software lifecycle processes. Arista can proactively investigate potential vulnerabilities, prioritize and prepare fixes, and keep customers informed through security advisories, mitigations and guidance on software lifecycle practices, ultimately helping secure customer networks.
This webinar will connect these methodologies to the tools and workflows available to network operators using EOS and Cloudvision, including MLAG ISSU, Maintenance Mode and Smart System Upgrade capabilities. A live demonstration will cover how Network Operations teams can identify compliance gaps, assess operational risk and remediate issues while preserving network continuity.
