Anthropic Expands Project Glasswing to 150 Organizations
Anthropic announced a major expansion of Project Glasswing, its initiative to secure the world's most critical software using the Claude Mythos Preview model. Approximately 150 new organizations across more than 15 countries now have access to the AI system, which has already autonomously identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and web browsers.
The expanded cohort covers sectors that were underrepresented in the initial group: power grid operators, water utilities, healthcare systems, telecommunications providers, and hardware vendors. Anthropic noted that for most partners, a successful attack on their codebase could affect more than 100 million people with serious ramifications for global and national security. New members reportedly include Okta, Samsung, SK Telecom, NATO, and the EU's cybersecurity agency ENISA.
The expansion comes on the heels of Anthropic's confidential IPO filing and a $65 billion funding round at a nearly $1 trillion valuation. OpenAI has also entered the cybersecurity AI space with GPT-5.5-Cyber, creating a competitive dynamic in AI-driven vulnerability research. Anthropic acknowledged that other AI companies will soon develop models as capable as Mythos, which is why it is racing to establish defensive safeguards before that happens.
Looking ahead, Anthropic plans to release Mythos-class models publicly with robust safeguards, potentially giving hundreds of thousands of organizations access to AI-powered vulnerability detection. The company said Project Glasswing has taught it a great deal about how to respond when models cross important capability thresholds, and expressed hope of enabling a permanent advantage for defenders.
AI-driven vulnerability discovery is becoming the new arms race, and Anthropic is staking its claim as the defender's weapon of choice. For MENA organizations operating critical infrastructure — especially as Saudi Arabia and UAE build out massive data center and energy projects — the question isn't if AI-powered attacks will target them, but whether they'll have equivalent AI defenses. This is the space to watch.
What is Project Glasswing?
It's Anthropic's initiative giving critical infrastructure organizations early access to Claude Mythos Preview to find and fix zero-day vulnerabilities before similar AI capabilities become publicly available.
