# AI cyber offense capabilities proliferate from restricted frontier labs to broad availability within 9-12 months of capability demonstration following the four-minute mile dynamic where demonstrated possibility accelerates replication

Sysdig frames Mythos as a capability threshold event using the 'four-minute mile' metaphor: Roger Bannister's 1954 sub-four-minute mile broke a psychological barrier, and once broken, dozens replicated it within two years. The analysis projects '9 to 12 months before advanced cyber-reasoning capabilities become widely distributed.' This timeline is critical for governance: any mechanism requiring more than 9-12 months to establish is structurally behind the proliferation curve. The 250-CISO briefing described existing threat models as 'obsolete,' suggesting professional consensus that Mythos represents a fundamental shift. The projection is based on observed AI capability proliferation patterns, not historical data, making it experimental confidence. The governance implication is stark: the window for defenders to catch up is measured in months, not years.
