Anthropic launches Cyber Mission with a critical infrastructure defense program and free open-source scanner

Anthropic's Cyber Mission starts with a Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (11 founding partners including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Dragos) and OSS Scanner, a free opt-in scanner for open-source maintainers. Reports carry no human review. In an early test, 85 of 97 critical and high findings (88%) met Anthropic's disclosure bar; one was a false positive.
