Anthropic Expands Cyber Program Giving Vetted Defenders Reduced-Safeguard Claude Access

Anthropic has expanded its Cyber Verification Program, allowing vetted cybersecurity defenders to use Claude models with reduced safeguards for defensive work. The company's Project Glasswing reportedly identified 129,000 verified vulnerabilities between April and July 2026, plus 5,500 additional findings, some of which are now being actively exploited. Security professionals are debating the balance between giving defenders powerful AI tools and the risks of weakened model safeguards.
Why now: The scale of reported vulnerabilities and the reduced-safeguard access raise fresh concerns about AI's role in offensive and defensive cybersecurity.
