Anthropic Cyber Mission to Support Defenders with Tools, Research, and Resources
Anthropic launched a Cyber Mission pairing Claude, engineers, and partners to defend critical infrastructure and open-source projects.
Anthropic announced its Cyber Mission on October 8, 2026, combining Claude models, engineers, threat research, and funding to help defenders protect critical infrastructure and open-source software. The Critical Infrastructure Defense Program starts with 11 partners, including Accenture, CrowdStrike, Dragos, Palo Alto Networks, and Rockwell Automation, focused on operational technology that is difficult to patch safely. Free OSS Scanner gives opted-in maintainers model-generated reports with explanations, proof-of-concept details, and proposed patches without prior human review; Anthropic expects a true-positive rate above 90%. Six months of scanning produced more than 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities, of which about 6,000 were manually reviewed, and Project Glasswing has been folded into an expanded Cyber Verification Program.
