Moving past autonomous exploitation to machine-speed security

Summary
Frontier AI has widened the gap between attackers and defenders, with enterprises taking 32 to 43 days to patch while the mean time to exploit is 10 hours. The source argues that prompting advanced models is not enough, and proposes a multi-agent system with IAM and Cedar policy enforcement, a 5-stage harness, a zero-egress microVM sandbox, and 2-layer validation. Reported tests on CyberGym showed 95 percent precision in discovering bugs, but frontier models refused over 98 percent of remediation prompts, and 40 percent of attempted patches broke production code.
Mitigation
The source proposes an integrated system combining multi-agent orchestration, context injection, sandbox validation and iterative repair. Its design choices are multiple cyber-enabled models, a 5-stage harness (reconnaissance, threat modeling, hunter, validation and remediation), a zero-egress sandbox microVM with no internet access, no IAM role and a start-fresh invocation, 2-layer validation (L1 static analysis and L2 dynamic security testing requiring proof of trigger), and rich infrastructure, application and business context.
