Anthropic launched the Anthropic Cyber Mission, a long-term commitment to help defenders secure software and systems, through which it says it will deploy engineering talent and provide tools and funding for those securing critical infrastructure and open-source software. It introduced the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program with founding partners including Accenture, Booz Allen, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, Dragos, Hitachi, Nozomi Networks, Palo Alto Networks, PwC and Rockwell Automation, and for open source it launched OSS Scanner, an opt-in service inspired by Google’s OSS-Fuzz that sends enrolled projects periodic free scans from Anthropic’s most capable models with proof-of-concept exploits, explanations and suggested fixes, though the reports are model-generated without human review and expected to exceed 90 percent true positives. Anthropic said it funded the organizations behind widely used open-source code, including the Python Software Foundation, Alpha-Omega and OpenSSF through the Linux Foundation, and the Apache Software Foundation, plus Akrites and Gold Eagle, and launched the Defender Advantage Fund (0xDAF) in August to keep OSS Scanner free. Maintainers can also apply for free Claude Max subscriptions through Claude for Open Source and for expanded access via the Cyber Verification Program.
