Government and Corporations Secure Access to Anthropic's 'Mythos'... Accelerating Public-Private Response to AI Threats

Samsung, SK, and KISA Newly Join 'Project Glasswing'
Securing Access Rights to the Latest Model 'Mythos'

The government and several companies have joined Anthropic's "Project Glasswing," gaining access to the artificial intelligence (AI) model "Mitos." With AI-driven cybersecurity threats rapidly increasing, public and private sectors plan to accelerate their joint response efforts.

According to the IT industry on June 4, Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and SK Telecom recently became part of Anthropic’s cybersecurity collaboration initiative, Project Glasswing. The Ministry of Science and ICT also joined through the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

Project Glasswing is a security consortium launched by Anthropic in April, when it announced the development of its latest model, Claude Mitos. The goal is to use Mitos to detect cybersecurity vulnerabilities across various industries. Organizations and companies participating in the consortium are granted the right to utilize Mitos.

Companies joining Glasswing are taking steps to strengthen their own security. On June 4, SK Telecom released a statement saying, "By joining Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, we have obtained early access to Claude Mitos," and added, "Through this project, we aim to proactively defend against potential threats and enhance the security of our core infrastructure and services."

The company further stated, "As a business operating communications and AI infrastructure that serves tens of millions of people, we plan to contribute to strengthening South Korea’s digital security based on this collaboration. We are conducting tests in accordance with strict regulations and management guidelines to ensure that new technologies can be used safely."

Although Samsung Electronics and SK hynix have not officially confirmed their participation in Project Glasswing, it has been reported internally that teams have been formed for the project. These companies are expected to identify security vulnerabilities related to key data in semiconductor design and manufacturing processes, proactively preventing the leakage of industrial secrets.

The government will also use Mitos to conduct security inspections for domestic companies and organizations. The Ministry of Science and ICT plans to support major domestic companies and institutions in utilizing AI-based security inspection systems through KISA. A Ministry official commented, "With both the public and private sectors gaining access to Mitos at the same time, the speed of detecting security vulnerabilities using AI will also increase."

As both the government and major corporations in South Korea become participants in Glasswing, there are high expectations for enhanced public-private cooperation in detecting cyber vulnerabilities using AI models. At the end of last month, the Ministry of Science and ICT decided at a cabinet meeting on science and technology relations to establish a joint public-private response system for disclosing AI vulnerabilities. The plan is to centralize the management of information on AI vulnerabilities and patches, while also strengthening technical support for companies and government agencies.

With both the public and private sectors obtaining access to Mitos, the speed of detecting security vulnerabilities using AI is expected to improve. Mitos has demonstrated outstanding performance in identifying security weaknesses. Anthropic announced that, during initial security inspections by about 50 partner organizations in the early stages of Glasswing, more than 10,000 high-severity security flaws were discovered within just a few weeks.
