AI-Powered AppSec, OWASP Origins, and Anthropic's "Mythos" Model: Jeff Williams on What Changes Next

Jim hosts Jeff Williams (Contrast Security co-founder/CTO and former OWASP global chair) for a wide-ranging discussion that begins with Anthropic's new "Mythos" model, described as powerful for finding zero-day vulnerabilities, and expands into how AppSec must evolve. Williams explains Contrast's runtime instrumentation approach, recounts OWASP's early days, the creation of WebGoat and the OWASP Top 10, and notes that many common vulnerabilities persist despite years of maturity models. They debate open source versus commercial security scrutiny, the likely high cost and scalability limits of advanced AI vulnerability discovery, and why finding more bugs matters only if remediation improves too. Williams argues for AI-powered "software factories" with feedback loops, assurance evidence, and runtime monitoring, and flags the EU Product Liability Directive treating software as a product with no-fault liability for security defects, including those from embedded open source.
