Anthropic launches Cyber Mission to support critical infrastructure and open-source defenders

Key points

• Critical Infrastructure Defense Program brings Claude models, on-site engineers and threat research to operational technology providers.
• Founding partners include Accenture, Booz Allen, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, Dragos, Hitachi, Palo Alto Networks, PwC and Rockwell Automation.
• OSS Scanner offers opt-in, free periodic scans of open-source projects; reports are model-generated without human review and may contain inaccuracies.
• Anthropic expects a true-positive rate above 90% for OSS Scanner reports, according to the company, and plans to improve it over time.

Why it matters for marketers: Content and security teams selling to infrastructure or open-source audiences should watch for partner programs and free scanning services, and expect fixes to take months or years.
