Anthropic's Mythos rollout has missed America's cybersecurity agency
TL;DR
Several US federal agencies are taking up Anthropic's new cybersecurity model to find vulnerabilities, but one is reportedly not getting in on the action: the nation's central cybersecurity coordinator. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) didn't have access to Mythos Preview, which Anthropic has touted as a powerful tool for finding and patching security vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, other agencies like the Commerce Department and NSA are reportedly using the model.
Nauti's Take
Multiple federal agencies adopting Mythos for vulnerability research is genuine traction for AI in national security work. Excluding CISA — the country's central cybersecurity coordinator — from the rollout is a striking gap, though.
Whether it's a procurement problem or a deliberate choice, it sends a confusing signal about coordinated defense strategy.
