Anthropic expands cyber security program for advanced AI models
Anthropic has expanded its Cyber Verification Program (CVP) to provide vetted security professionals with increased access to its most advanced AI models, including Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Mythos 5.1. This initiative integrates the findings from Project Glasswing, which identified at least 129,000 verified software vulnerabilities between April and July 2026, with over 33,000 of those classified as critical or high severity.
The revamped CVP offers three distinct access tiers designed to facilitate both defensive and authorized offensive security work. The Defense Access tier is intended for incident response and malware reverse engineering, while the Red Team Access tier allows for authorized penetration testing and red-teaming simulations. By providing models with reduced safeguards for these specific use cases, Anthropic aims to help organizations secure critical software and infrastructure.
