CISA's Use of Anthropic's Mythos for Government Code Security Scanning

under implementation

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is using Anthropic's AI model Mythos to scan government software code repositories for security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by foreign intelligence agencies or cybercriminals. The work is conducted by CISA's Attack Surface Evaluation team, which performs digital security assessments and hacking exercises across the U.S. government. The audits have uncovered a large number of vulnerabilities, although details on the extent and severity are not provided.
