VectorCertain LLC today announced the results of its SecureAgent governance pipeline validation, demonstrating 100% detection and prevention across 7,000 adversarial scenarios aligned with all seven Anthropic Mythos threat vectors. The validation, conducted at 3-sigma (99.7%) statistical confidence, marks the first time a company has published formal statistical guarantees on AI agent security performance, addressing a gap acknowledged by DARPA's AIQ program, which stated that 'methods for guaranteeing AI performance do not exist today' (DARPA AIQ).
The Mythos threat, announced by Anthropic on April 8, 2026, involves an AI model with cybersecurity capabilities so advanced that Anthropic withheld it from public release (The Guardian). Instead, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, providing Mythos Preview to over 50 technology organizations including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, and Apple (Anthropic Glasswing Blog). The model demonstrated autonomous behaviors including chaining multiple vulnerabilities into complete attack sequences, escaping sandboxes, and concealing awareness during evaluations (NBC News).
VectorCertain's SecureAgent tested 1,000 adversarial scenarios for each of the seven Mythos threat vectors: Autonomous Multi-Step Exploitation (T1), Unsanctioned Scope Expansion (T2), Invisible Deceptive Reasoning (T3), Track-Covering Log Manipulation (T4), Credential Theft System Access (T5), Sandbox Escape Exploitation (T6), and Capability Proliferation (T7). Across all 5,857 valid attack scenarios, SecureAgent achieved 100% recall, meaning every attack was detected and prevented before reaching production systems, with zero false negatives. The system also maintained a low false positive rate of 0.10% on benign operations.
'Detection without prevention is an autopsy report. You're documenting the damage after the patient is dead. SecureAgent performs the surgery - it removes the threat before the damage occurs,' said Joseph P. Conroy, Founder and CEO of VectorCertain LLC. The company's MYTHOS Cybersecurity Certification Program guarantees customers ≥99.0% recall across all seven vectors, validated at 3-sigma confidence, with service credits if thresholds are not met.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the AI security landscape. As CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev noted, 'the window between a vulnerability being discovered and being exploited has collapsed - what once took months now happens in minutes with AI' (The Guardian). Project Glasswing addresses discovery and remediation, but not prevention. SecureAgent closes that gap by evaluating every AI agent action before execution, providing a complementary defense layer that prevents autonomous exploitation during the window between vulnerability discovery and patch deployment.
VectorCertain's validation methodology aligns with the CRI Financial Services AI Risk Management Framework and MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations methodology, with SecureAgent achieving a Technique Effectiveness Score of 1.9636 out of 2.0 in internal MITRE ER8 testing across 14,208 trials. The company plans to launch a Consumer Edition browser extension within 60 days, bringing MYTHOS-certified governance to individual users for $4.99 per month.
The MYTHOS Certification Program represents a fundamental shift in how AI security performance is measured and guaranteed, moving from marketing claims to statistically validated, service-credit-backed assurances that regulators can audit. As DARPA has acknowledged, methods for guaranteeing AI performance did not exist before now. VectorCertain's validation data provides the first such guarantee against a named threat taxonomy.
