Introducing the Anthropic Cyber Mission
Mainly relevant to IT/security teams and open-source maintainers, not a general business feature. If your organisation maintains open-source code or runs critical infrastructure systems, this gives free access to AI-assisted vulnerability scanning and defensive security support, though scan results are not human-reviewed so should be treated as a starting point, not a final verdict.
What changed
Source summary
Anthropic has launched the Cyber Mission, a long-term program giving cyber defenders access to frontier Claude models and resources. It starts with two offerings: a Critical Infrastructure Defense Program pairing Claude models and Anthropic engineers with trusted security providers protecting power, water and transport systems, and OSS Scanner, a free opt-in service that runs periodic AI-generated vulnerability scans on open-source projects (reports are not human-reviewed, with an expected true-positive rate above 90%). It also folds the former Project Glasswing into an expanded Cyber Verification Program giving security teams of any size access to Claude's cyber capabilities for defensive work.
