Meanwhile, Anthropic adds 150 partners to Project Glasswing<\/p>\n
Bug hunting has become a whole lot more exciting in recent months with both Anthropic and OpenAI touting their latest models<\/a> (that also happen to be super-scary exploit machines<\/a>). On Tuesday, as Anthropic announced a fourfold expansion\u00a0to its Mythos preview program, Cisco jumped into the fray, praising the transformative power of AI – but without disclosing how many bugs the latest frontier models found.<\/p>\n Cisco SVP Anthony Grieco in a Tuesday blog said<\/a>\u00a0that the advanced AI systems, including Anthropic\u2019s Claude Mythos<\/a>\u00a0Preview and OpenAI\u2019s GPT 5.5-Cyber<\/a>, scanned 1.8 billion lines of code in eight weeks looking for vulnerabilities in Cisco products – a task that otherwise would have taken the networking giant\u2019s advanced security team eight years to accomplish.<\/p>\n However, Grieco, who heads Cisco\u2019s security and trust organization, didn\u2019t say how many flaws Mythos and other frontier models uncovered, or if they have all been fixed. The company also did not respond to The Register\u2019s questions about this.<\/p>\n Grieco did say that \u201cspeed is only half the story,\u201d calling the \u201creal breakthrough\u201d the \u201cscale, quality, and impact\u201d of the models\u2019 findings.<\/p>\n The 1.8 billion lines of code, written in more than 25 different languages, spanned Cisco\u2019s portfolio, we\u2019re told. Netzilla paired the models with a \u201chuman-guided harness,\u201d and achieved a false positive rate of under 3 percent, Grieco wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cRather than focusing on a specific scope for a security evaluation, we can assess entire code bases of a product. It\u2019s like switching from a flashlight to a flood light to illuminate a dark room,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause each finding is validated through a hybrid of AI and human expertise, our engineering teams are receiving actionable intelligence rather than a wall of warnings.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Anthropic on Tuesday said it expanded Project Glasswing<\/a> to about 150 additional organizations, bringing the total partner count to about 200. <\/p>\n Project Glasswing is the AI giant\u2019s controlled partner program for giving selected orgs access to Claude Mythos Preview. When it announced the new model and partner program in early April, Anthropic limited the preview to about 50 entities, claiming Mythos is so good at finding and exploiting security holes that all hell would break loose and the zombie apocalypse would hit should the model fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n Since April, these select government agencies and corporate partners – including Cisco – have been using Mythos to find and fix bugs in their own products.<\/p>\n Palo Alto Networks, one of the original Project Glasswing partners, said in May that after spending a month using frontier AI models, including Anthropic’s Mythos, to scan more than 130 products across its three platforms, it uncovered 26 CVEs representing 75 underlying security issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n For comparison, the cybersecurity giant said it typically discloses fewer than five CVEs per month.<\/p>\n At the time, a company exec forecast<\/a> \u201ca narrow three-to-five-month window for organizations to outpace the adversary before AI-driven exploits start to become the new norm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The newly expanded Project Glasswing spans more than 15 countries, and, while an Anthropic spokesperson declined to name them or the new partner companies, it\u2019s a safe bet that these are likely Western and\/or \u201cfriendly\u201d nations. So not China and Russia.<\/p>\n Rubrik, a data security and management vendor, said<\/a>\u00a0that it was among the new Glasswing partners. The expanded list also reportedly includes<\/a> the Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA), along with Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and SK Telecom, among other Korean companies.<\/p>\n \u201cThe group covers several industries that weren\u2019t well-represented in our initial cohort, such as power, water, healthcare, communications, and hardware,\u201d according to a Tuesday Anthropic blog. \u201cAnd many of the new partners are vendors – companies or nonprofits that maintain codebases that are relied upon by lots of other organizations around the world, including governments.\u201d<\/p>\n Each new partner must meet Anthropic\u2019s security requirements before they gain access to Mythos, the company added.\u00a0 \u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Security Meanwhile, Anthropic adds 150 partners to Project Glasswing Bug hunting has become a whole lot more exciting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618175,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-618174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
