Anthropic Expands Access to Its Cybersecurity Verification Program and Launches OSS Scanner

On October 7, 2026, The Decoder reported that Anthropic opened its Cyber Verification Program (CVP) to more security professionals. Approved organizations and independent researchers can use Claude models with fewer safety filters for security work such as vulnerability research, malware analysis, incident response, and penetration testing, aiming to let more security teams use Claude with fewer restrictions. On October 9, The Verge reported that Anthropic also launched a free security scanning service called OSS Scanner, which open-source projects can voluntarily join; after joining, they are regularly scanned for security vulnerabilities by its strongest models (including Claude Mythos). The current picture is Anthropic continuously expanding the reach of its AI tools in cybersecurity, from the CVP aimed at professional security practitioners to a security scanning service for the open-source community; no follow-up conflicts or corrections so far.
