A third of the way into a security-operations guide that Anthropic published in April 2026, wedged between a recommendation to patch CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list and a suggestion to automate your deployment pipeline is a small recommendation: “Use EPSS to prioritize the rest.” For anyone who has worked on a vulnerability backlog in the […]
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday creating a "voluntary framework" for AI companies to share their frontier models with the federal government before they're released "to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure." The order says the US AI industry has succeeded in part "because we refuse to stifle this innovation with overly burdensome regulation," but that it also recognizes new AI capabilities come with security risks. Accordingly, it directs several federal agencies to come up with a framework to "assess the advanced cyber capabilities of AI models" before they're releas … Read the full story at The Verge.
Anthropic is expanding Project Glasswing, its security vulnerability program, and access to Mythos to 150 organizations across 15 countries — targeting critical infrastructure in power, water, healthcare, and communications where a cyberattack could affect 100 million people.
Nick Andersen, the acting director of CISA, said an intergovernmental effort is providing critical infrastructure owners more help against cyber threats.
