Does Anthropic deserve the trust of the cybersecurity community?<\/a><\/p>\n

The cybersecurity industry runs on trust. The belief that when a vendor says they will behave a certain way, they will, that critical CVEs are in fact critical, or when companies say they\u2019re GDPR compliant, they really are. But earning trust is not a one-and-done thing.<\/p>\n

Anthropic understood this better than any AI company. As OpenAI moved fast and broke things, Anthropic published a Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP), a framework for addressing catastrophic risks. Although it\u2019s a voluntary pledge, combined with its leadership\u2019s earnest ambition to lead an industry-wide \u201crace to the top\u201d on safety, Anthropic quickly became the poster child for trustworthy AI.<\/p>\n

In January 2026, the Anthropic-OpenAI rivalry spilled out into the public and things very quickly got weird.<\/p>\n

In the lead up to the Super Bowl, Anthropic spent millions on ads mocking OpenAI for launching ads in ChatGPT. With headlines reading \u201cDeception,\u201d \u201cBetrayal,\u201d \u201cTreachery,\u201d and \u201cViolation,\u201d Anthropic brazenly claimed the moral high ground. Claude, the ads declared, would never use your most intimate conversations to serve you ads.<\/p>\n

On February 20th, Anthropic launched Claude Code Security, spooking the cybersecurity industry and cybersecurity stocks.<\/p>\n

Then, on February 24th, it quietly published RSP 3.0. It framed the rewrite as a maturation of the policy, and in some ways, it is. But buried in the copy is a structural shift that security professionals should not ignore.<\/p>\n

The previous RSP committed to keeping Anthropic\u2019s absolute risk levels below acceptable thresholds regardless of what competitors did. Version 3.0 explicitly abandons that framing. Now Anthropic\u2019s formerly stringent safety commitments are relative. If its competitors aren\u2019t pausing, they won\u2019t either, as all pausing would do is hand the wheel to the least responsible driver. Understandable, but move the goal posts, and your brand moves with it. And rumors about a rift with the Pentagon were…<\/p>\n
