## Introducing the Anthropic Cyber Mission
Anthropic launches Cyber Mission to secure systems everyone depends on with tools, research, and resources.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program brings frontier Claude models, on-site engineers, and threat research to defenders of power grids, water systems, and transportation networks.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Partners
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program partners include Accenture, Booz Allen, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, Dragos, Hitachi, Insane Cyber, Nozomi Networks, Palo Alto Networks, PwC, and Rockwell Automation.
## Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities
Power grids, water utilities, factories, and transportation networks run on operational technology that cannot be taken offline to patch vulnerabilities.
## OSS Scanner Launch
OSS Scanner offers free security scans for open-source projects using Anthropic’s frontier models to find and fix vulnerabilities.
## OSS Scanner Benefits
OSS Scanner provides proof of concept for vulnerabilities, explanations, and suggested fixes without human review, with a target true-positive rate above 90%.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Goals
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program aims to find and repair weaknesses before adversaries exploit them to disrupt essential services.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Impact
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program helps defenders close attack paths before vulnerabilities become real-world impacts.
## OSS Scanner Enrollment
Core maintainers of open-source projects can enroll in OSS Scanner for free periodic security scans from Anthropic’s models.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Timeline
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program starts with a small cohort of partners to learn effective strategies for securing operational technology.
## OSS Scanner Implementation
OSS Scanner uses model-generated reports with proof of concept, explanations, and suggested fixes to help maintainers fix vulnerabilities faster.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Partnerships
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program partners include Accenture, Booz Allen, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, Dragos, Hitachi, Insane Cyber, Nozomi Networks, Palo Alto Networks, PwC, and Rockwell Automation.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Benefits
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program helps defenders find and repair weaknesses before adversaries exploit them to disrupt essential services.
## OSS Scanner Target Audience
OSS Scanner targets projects with capacity to triage findings at scale, providing faster vulnerability reports without human review.
## Critical Infrastructure Defense Program Next Steps
Critical Infrastructure Defense Program will expand to more partners and sectors while sharing lessons learned and what didn’t work.
## Key takeaway

Anthropic introduces Cyber Mission to support defenders with AI tools for critical infrastructure and open-source security.
