en.Wedoany.com Reported - BT has become the first UK company to confirm its participation in Anthropic's Project Glasswing, gaining access to Anthropic's frontier AI model, Claude Mythos Preview. BT stated that this move strengthens protection for its network and customers against cybersecurity threats.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos model can autonomously orchestrate multi-stage attacks and identify dormant vulnerabilities in decades-old codebases. After discovering a vulnerability, the model compiles and runs code to test and prove its exploitability, so access to it is strictly limited.
Anthropic launched Project Glasswing in April, with an initial phase of approximately 50 founding partners and extended testers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Apple, Google, Nvidia, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks. The project aims to bring together key infrastructure providers to jointly protect the data and systems underpinning services relied upon by millions of people.
Trusted organizations can use Anthropic's secure AI system to quickly identify vulnerabilities and help fix them before criminals can exploit them.
Verizon was the first telecom operator to join the project in May, followed by SK Telecom and AT&T. Earlier this month, Anthropic announced an expansion of the program, granting access to 150 additional organizations from 15 countries, covering healthcare, water and electricity utilities, communications, and hardware suppliers. The total number of participants is now around 200.
Each new organization must pass rigorous security testing before gaining access to the unreleased Claude Mythos model to scan for software vulnerabilities.
BT CEO Allison Kirkby stated when announcing the news that AI can only operate at scale if it is built on a future-proof, secure, resilient, and reliable network. She also emphasized BT's commitment to working with the government to support the further development and deployment of the UK's sovereign AI capabilities, enabling the UK to become a maker, not just a taker, of AI, and to act as a promoter of responsible adoption and a responsible adopter itself in the AI field.
Jon James, CEO of BT Business, noted that AI is rapidly transforming the cybersecurity landscape, and businesses need trusted partners that can help them stay one step ahead. By joining Project Glasswing, BT will enhance its own cybersecurity capabilities to protect its network, customers, and the wider UK region.
BT Business provides AI-based cybersecurity solutions for customers of all sizes, including new products for small businesses, and has announced a partnership with Accenture to develop advanced AI-driven network operations to respond to cyber threats at machine speed.
