# What is Mythos-Class AI?

This site uses “Mythos-class AI” to discuss advanced AI capabilities in offensive security. It is a framing for the threat discussion, rather than a formal cybersecurity standard or a security certification.

The practical concern is how automation changes the speed and scale of attempts against reachable software.

## How LayerV Answers It

LayerV removes the direct public route to a correctly configured private origin and checks authorization before opening the protected connection. Scanners without access cannot reach that origin through LayerV to fingerprint its app or probe its routes. Keep patching, application authentication, and monitoring for authorized traffic and other attack paths.
