Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\tCybersecurity agencies for Canada and its Five Eyes allies have issued a whole-of-society \u201ccall to action\u201d that warns artificial intelligence is \u201crapidly transforming cyber risk,\u201d allowing attackers to exploit vulnerabilities at ever-increasing speed.
\nAt the same time, the joint advisory says AI offers \u201cpowerful tools\u201d to strengthen cyber defences and urges organizations to integrate them into their core business strategies.\u201cWhile AI will help us improve cyber defence over time, it also accelerates the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyber threats,\u201d the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and its counterparts in the U.S., Britain, Australia and New Zealand said.\u201cThe timeline is not years, it is months.\u201dThe advisory says the arrival and rapid advancement of frontier AI models that can find and exploit unknown vulnerabilities faster than humans means cyber risk \u201ccan no longer be treated as a purely technical issue.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStory continues below advertisement<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\u201cThis is a core business risk and leadership responsibility,\u201d it says. \u201cBoards and executives should ensure cyber resilience is in place and works under pressure.\u201cIt is not enough to have controls,\u201d the advisory continues. \u201cLeaders must be confident those controls will perform during a real incident. This requires reassessing long-standing trade-offs and using AI deliberately to strengthen defence \u2013 not just improve efficiency.\u201dOrganizations across all sectors are being urged to take \u201curgent\u201d action on limiting system access, invest in training and preparedness, accelerate protocols and timelines for security updates and patching vulnerabilities, and enforce strong permissions and authentication for verified users.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, the cyber agencies acknowledge that \u201cbreaches will occur\u201d as ever-evolving AI models are harnessed to find new vulnerabilities, including \u201czero-day vulnerabilities\u201d where a solution or patch does not yet exist.The advisory says those same AI tools can also be integrated by organizations to detect vulnerabilities earlier, respond to breaches faster and monitor \u201cunusual behaviour,\u201d all while reducing costs.By doing so, the agencies say, organizations can ensure \u201coperational continuity and market trust\u201d \u2014 so long as leaders are quick to act.\u201cAdversaries are already using AI to move faster and more effectively. Defenders must do the same,\u201d the advisory says.\u201cLeaders who act now will reduce exposure, strengthen resilience, and build confidence with customers, partners, and investors. Those who delay will face growing and avoidable risk.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStory continues below advertisement<\/p>\n

\t\t\tThe advisory comes in the wake of the federal government\u2019s updated AI strategy that aims to greatly increase AI adoption across the public and private sectors.Among the key actions listed under one of the strategy\u2019s central pillars, \u201cprotecting Canadians and safeguarding our democracy,\u201d is a commitment to accelerate AI research and deployment for cyber defence and data protection.
\nIt also promises to \u201cproactively work with frontier AI companies\u201d to ensure critical systems are protected from AI-based cyber and national security threats.\t\t\t \t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCanada gains access to Mythos AI<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tEarlier this month, Ottawa confirmed it had gained access to Anthropic\u2019s powerful AI model Mythos 5, and was using it to test the security and resiliency of government and critical systems.Anthropic has said Mythos 5 is so \u201cstrikingly capable\u201d that it was limiting its use to select customers because of its ability to surpass human cybersecurity experts in finding and exploiting computer vulnerabilities.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStory continues below advertisement<\/p>\n

\t\t\tHowever, the U.S. government soon after directed Anthropic to withhold Mythos and its publicly-released counterpart Fable 5 from use by foreign nationals, citing national security concerns.Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters in Ireland that the move underscored the need for Canada and other nations to develop their own AI models.\u201cThe situation we\u2019re in collectively right now with Mythos and Fable is something that can happen with overreliance on certain models,\u201d Carney said.\u201cNobody has done anything wrong in the situation. But we will have done something wrong if we just accept this, don\u2019t take the lesson, don\u2019t build out and diversify.\u201d\u2014with files from the Associated Press\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
