Background
Indian organisations have gained access to Mythos, a specialised cybersecurity model developed by Anthropic, following the expansion of its Project Glasswing programme.
The development makes Indian organisations part of a limited global group with access to the technology to improve the protection of critical infrastructure.
The latest expansion brings 150 organisations from 15 countries into the programme. Anthropic said the new participants include operators of essential services whose disruption could affect more than 100 million people.
Indian organisations are among those granted access as the initiative grows beyond its original focus on selected organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The expansion also widens the range of sectors covered by the programme. Organisations involved in power, water, healthcare, communications and hardware infrastructure are now included. These sectors were not part of the initial group when the programme was first launched.
Project Glasswing aims to help operators of critical infrastructure identify and fix security weaknesses before cybercriminals or other malicious actors can exploit them. The initiative provides selected organisations with access to advanced tools designed to improve cyber resilience and protect essential services.
The move comes as regulators and policymakers continue to examine advanced cybersecurity technologies more closely. Mythos has attracted attention because of its ability to identify and analyse cyber vulnerabilities.
Anthropic has limited access to the model and has not made it publicly available, citing concerns that the technology could be misused if released without restrictions.
The company said it is providing access only to trusted organisations responsible for protecting important infrastructure and services that support large populations.
