Key Info

Anthropic announced the Anthropic Cyber Mission, an initiative to secure critical infrastructure and open-source software, and alongside it the OSS Scanner, which uses its frontier models to periodically scan opted-in open-source projects for vulnerabilities at no cost.

Highlights

  • OSS Scanner reports include a proof-of-concept, an explanation of the vulnerability, and a suggested fix
  • The scanning service is offered at no cost to open-source projects that opt in
  • The mission will expand and evolve as Anthropic learns what works, in partnership with public and private sector organizations
  • Part of a broader effort to make the systems everyone relies on more secure and resilient
