Anthropic, an AI company, is bolstering its cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure by enhancing its security program and launching new tools. The company plans to offer free periodic security scans for open-source projects through an opt-in service, similar to Google's OSS-Fuzz. These scans will be conducted using Anthropic's most capable AI models, which will provide reports detailing potential vulnerabilities, the proof of concept of their exploitation, an explanation of how they could be exploited, and suggested fixes, if available.
Additionally, Anthropic is initiating a critical infrastructure defense program, working with select companies like Accenture, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, PwC, and Palo Alto Networks. This program will involve deploying frontier Claude models and on-site engineers to help fix vulnerabilities and educate customers about security measures.
The move comes after Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, called for greater transparency in the sector, prompting a partnership with Accenture to independently evaluate the company's frontier AI developments.
