Anthropic Expands Glasswing as AI Security Race Heats Up

Source Domain: www.cxtoday.com

AI model developer Anthropic is expanding Project Glasswing, its cybersecurity initiative aimed at protecting critical software infrastructure from frontier model capabilities, adding another 150 organizations across more than 15 countries to the program.

The expansion follows the company’s April launch of the initiative, which initially gave 50 organizations access to Claude Mythos Preview, Anthropic’s cybersecurity-focused frontier model. According to Anthropic, participants have already identified more than 10,000 high- and critical-severity software vulnerabilities using the system.

The new group includes organizations operating in critical sectors that were not included in the first group, such as power, water, healthcare, communications and hardware infrastructure, which are all industries where software failures can quickly escalate with implications for national security and customer trust.

As Anthropic said in its announcement:

“What each partner has in common is that a successful attack on their codebase could be catastrophic. For most partners, we estimate that a major attack could affect more than 100 million people, with important ramifications for both global and national security.”

“This expansion is the next step toward our long-term goals: for AI to make all software more secure, and for us to help the industry adjust to how AI could change many of the core assumptions of cybersecurity,” the company added.

The Glasswing expansion comes as competition among the major AI developers to dominate frontier cybersecurity capabilities intensifies.

Microsoft has launched its new MAI family of in-house models spanning reasoning, coding, image, voice and speech generation, positioning the company to compete more directly with OpenAI and Anthropic in enterprise AI infrastructure. The launch also reflects Microsoft’s effort to demonstrate greater…
