WWT - Mythos Response Framework
Join WWT for this webinar event around Mythos readiness content developed with security leaders across the sector — a prescriptive framework.
Mythos-class AI capabilities have moved a working assumption most vulnerability programs still rely on: that exploit development is slow enough for weekly or monthly patch cycles to keep pace. Median time-to-exploit is now measured in hours, and the barrier to weaponizing published CVEs has collapsed.
Rather than add to the noise, we've distilled the best public guidance into a 12-point response framework structured around three shifts: strengthen the foundation, move from vulnerability management to exploit prevention, and align people and partners.

Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1
This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity.
The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)
