Experts have long said that artificial intelligence (AI) would change the face of cybersecurity. While many industry leaders have already deployed AI tools to prevent hacks, data breaches, and cyberattacks, the potential for sophisticated intrusions just took a giant leap forward.
AI start-up Anthropic unveiled the Claude Mythos Preview, its latest frontier AI model. This advanced general-purpose model is "the most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks." The headline, however, was the direct and immediate impact on the cybersecurity industry. Anthropic revealed that the Claude Mythos Preview "has already identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure." Zero-day vulnerabilities are previously unidentified ways hackers can exploit software, requiring immediate fixes to protect users.

The biggest names in technology
In an announcement on its website, Anthropic unveiled Project Glasswing, an initiative to "secure the world's most critical infrastructure" against AI-powered attacks. This collaboration brings together some of the biggest names in technology and cybersecurity to plug the gaps already identified by Claude Mythos.
Tech partners include Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Web Services (AWS), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) Google, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO). Also joining the alliance are cybersecurity experts CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW). JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) and the Linux Foundation are also charter members.
Anthropic said that (emphasis mine), "Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser." The company goes on to say that "Glasswing is an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes." The implications of this development are stunning and help highlight the logic behind this broad coalition.
Major PC operating systems include Microsoft Windows, Apple's MacOS and Linux. Google's Android and Apple iOS operating systems dominate mobile devices. The biggest web browsers include Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge. Nvidia and Broadcom supply semiconductors, hardware, and software that underpin a wide range of tech infrastructure. The biggest cloud operators, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, have a vested interest in securing their domains. Cisco's hardware forms the backbone of many corporate networks. JPMorgan Chase has been integrating AI into every aspect of the bank's operations. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike are the world's biggest cybersecurity providers by revenue, so their participation is a no-brainer.
Access is also being extended to "40 additional organizations that build or maintain critical software infrastructure" to help them secure their software and open-source systems. Anthropic is also backing the project with $100 million in usage credits and has collected $4 million in direct donations to open-source security organizations to support these efforts.
This broad coalition of competitors and rivals is putting aside their differences to work together for the common good, underscoring the seriousness of this development. It also helps to illustrate that the age of AI is only just getting started.
