Anthropic Launches Cyber Mission to Protect Critical Infrastructure and Open-Source Software With Claude AI

**Executive summary:** Anthropic launched "Cyber Mission," a program that provides frontier Claude models, engineering support, and funding to help secure critical infrastructure and open-source projects; key components are the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (CIDP) and an opt-in OSS Scanner that produces automated vulnerability reports (including exploit reproducers and proposed patches) while emphasising the validation bottleneck where many candidate findings require human triage.
