The company will gain access to Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview to help boost its cybersecurity amidst the growing threat of AI cybercrime
BT has become the first UK company to join Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, a defensive coalition of critical infrastructure providers from around the word.
The partnership will give BT access to Anthropic’s powerful frontier AI model Claude Mythos Preview, which recently shocked the global cybersecurity community by discovering decades-old vulnerabilities hidden in what were considered highly secure foundational systems.
Project Glasswing, which was launched in April, aims to give key players in critical national infrastructure access to this powerful model in order to identify and remove systemic vulnerabilities before cybercriminals begin using similarly advanced AI for attacks.
“AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities,” Anthropic explains on the Project Glasswing website. “Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely. The fallout—for economies, public safety, and national security—could be severe. Project Glasswing is an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes.”
Project Glasswing was launched with 12 core launch partners, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Apple, Google, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, and the Linux Foundation, alongside roughly 40 other critical infrastructure organisations.
For BT, joining this group emphasises the company’s key role in securing the UK critical national infrastructure.
“AI is changing cyber security fast, and businesses need trusted partners who can help them stay one step ahead. By joining Project Glasswing, BT will strengthen its own cyber security capability to protect our networks, our customers and the wider UK,” said Jon James, Chief Executive Officer of BT Business.
