The cybersecurity landscape is entering a new era defined by intelligence and the unprecedented speed of AI-driven insight. Akamai is proud to be part of it.
Anthropic has established itself as a leader in the responsible development of frontier AI. They have consistently advocated for a proactive approach to AI safety, helping to ensure that as models grow more capable, those models are used to help strengthen and secure the world's digital infrastructure. This philosophy is at the heart of Claude Mythos, a model that possesses sophisticated software logic and vulnerability discovery skills.
Project Glasswing is an initiative that brings together critical infrastructure owners and operators to secure global code and includes access to Claude Mythos Preview. Akamai is proud to be one of the participants in Project Glasswing as part of our mission to protect the lifeblood of the digital economy.
Hardening our codebase with Claude Mythos
This new era demands that defenders leverage AI as fast as attackers, making testing frontier models critical to maintaining security. We are in an unprecedented period, as advancements in AI enable the very rapid identification of vulnerabilities and the ability to chain together and demonstrate exploitation.
Akamai Chief Security Officer Boaz Gelbord recently said, "To address this new reality, we are testing against critical components in our codebase, with a focus on uncovering previously unidentified vulnerabilities in our environment. Ultimately, enterprise security teams need to rapidly re-assess long-held assumptions on security posture and fundamentally re-orient for a post-Mythos world. While we cannot predict the future, we are now in a new normal and need to rapidly pivot our defenses in this AI era for cybersecurity."
We are at an inflection point
The shift toward AI-driven discovery is an inflection point for the entire industry. For 30 years, the goal was to "patch and protect." In the era of Claude Mythos, the goal is to build architectures that are resilient by design — by continuously understanding exposure and by adapting in real time. Legacy security solutions built on firewalls and VPNs were designed for a world of human-speed attackers. Project Glasswing is how we move beyond that legacy.
