Anthropic launches Cyber Mission and a free AI vulnerability scanner for open-source projects

Anthropic launched Cyber Mission, a long-term program to protect critical infrastructure and open-source software from cyberattacks. Its Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (CIDP) gives operators of power grids, water systems and transportation networks access to Claude models, engineers and threat analysis, with CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Deloitte and Rockwell Automation as founding partners. A separate free OSS AI scanner will regularly check open-source projects, automatically flag and explain vulnerabilities and suggest patches; Anthropic expects accuracy above 90 percent but notes reports ship without human review and may contain errors, and maintainers of projects critical to infrastructure or user safety can opt in via GitHub.
