PANews October 9 reported that, according to an official Anthropic announcement, Anthropic launched the cybersecurity program Cyber Mission, initially focusing on critical infrastructure and open-source software. The critical infrastructure defense program will provide Accenture, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, PwC, and other 11 security service providers with advanced Claude models, on-site engineers, and threat research support, covering systems such as power grids, water supply, and transportation;OSS Scanner will scan selected open-source projects for vulnerabilities free of charge and propose remediation recommendations, with an expected true-positive rate exceeding 90%。

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The program has two parts: one helps security service providers defend critical systems such as power grids, water supply, and transportation; the other finds vulnerabilities in selected open-source projects and provides remediation recommendations. “A true-positive rate exceeding 90%” is an expected metric, not an actual scanning result already published in the original text.
Why it matters to readers
Selected open-source projects may find and remediate vulnerabilities more easily; security service providers participating in the program will also receive support involving models, engineers, and threat research.
If you use open-source software or rely on public infrastructure, the software vulnerabilities and system protection addressed by this program may indirectly relate to the security of the services you use, but the original text does not state that ordinary users need to take action.
Risks and unknowns
The current evidence is a report by PANews; it does not provide a direct link to the official Anthropic announcement.
The list of initially selected open-source projects and the specific selection criteria were not stated.
11 A complete list of the security service providers was not provided.
The actual planned deployment scope, scan results, and remediation effectiveness have not yet been specified.
The true-positive rate exceeds 90% is an estimate, and no measured results as described in the original text support it.
