Microsoft to integrate Anthropic's Claude Mythos into security framework

Investing.com -- Microsoft said Wednesday it plans to embed advanced artificial intelligence models, including Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, into its secure coding framework as the company strengthens its cybersecurity capabilities.

The integration into Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle will help identify vulnerabilities and develop fixes faster early in the development cycle, the Windows maker said in a blog.

Mythos, announced on April 7, has found thousands of major vulnerabilities in operating systems, web browsers and other software. Its ability to code at a high level has given it a potentially unprecedented ability to analyze and devise ways to exploit security weaknesses, experts said.

Anthropic said the current iteration, Claude Mythos Preview, will be first deployed to a select group of companies as part of Anthropic's Project Glasswing, a controlled initiative under which major technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon.com and Apple, can use it to search for cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Microsoft said it evaluated Mythos using its own open-source benchmark for real-world detection engineering tasks, and the results showed substantial improvements relative to prior models.

The Trump administration, central bankers across the globe and industries are working to understand Mythos and its ability to make complex cyberattacks both easier and quicker to execute.
