Cisco joins Anthropic's multivendor effort to secure AI software

Anthropic's Project Glasswing will bring together a group of vendors to help define how AI resources will be protected from cyber threats.

Cisco is joining Anthropic's Project Glasswing initiative, which will offer Anthropic's unreleased Claude Mythos Preview software to a coalition of vendors to help define how AI resources will be protected from cyber threats.

Project Glasswing brings together Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks. Anthropic wants the group to build a coordinated technology answer for AI security threats through tasks such as vulnerability detection, black box testing of binaries, securing endpoints, and system penetration testing.

According to Anthropic, Project Glasswing partners will get access to its as yet unreleased Claude Mythos Preview to find and fix vulnerabilities or weaknesses in their foundational systems -- systems that represent a very large portion of the world's shared cyberattack surface, the vendor wrote in its announcement. Anthropic calls Claude Mythos Preview a next-generation AI frontier model featuring advanced reasoning and code development.
