Anthropic has broadened its Cyber Verification Program's Defense Access tier, making open-source maintainers, nonprofits, and small critical infrastructure operators eligible for the scheme.

Why now: People are discussing whether AI companies stepping in fills a long-standing gap in funding security for under-resourced open-source projects.
