Claude Security is another tool in Anthropic's cyberdefense toolbox. It gives security teams a way to "scan codebases for vulnerabilities and generate targeted patches" using the Claude Opus 4.7 model.

Earlier in the month, Anthropic debuted Project Glasswing, an AI Manhattan Project aimed at finding vulnerabilities in the world's infrastructure of open-source software.

Glasswing uses an Anthropic model called Mythos, a model deemed so dangerous that it's not being released to the public. It's being shared with Glasswing participants, including erstwhile competitors like Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks.

At the core of both Project Glasswing and Claude Security is vulnerability scanning. Most cyberattacks begin with an enemy actor exploiting a vulnerability. So, if defenders can find and patch the vulnerabilities, the malicious perpetrator has a smaller attack surface.
