The company reports its partners found over 129,000 verified vulnerabilities between April and July 2026, plus 5,500 more via its own open-source scanning through October, with 33,000+ rated critical or high severity. However, only 516 of 5,674 true-positive vulnerabilities have been patched so far, highlighting a gap between AI-assisted discovery and actual remediation. The restructuring follows criticism that few of the flagged CVEs are actually being exploited in the wild and comes shortly after Anthropic warned about a rival model's cyber capabilities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are the three tiers in Anthropic's new Cyber Verification Program? Anthropic merged Project Glasswing and its Cyber Verification Program into three tiers: Defense Access for organizational security teams focused on system defense, Red Team Access for penetration testing and offensive evaluation, and Specialized Access for verified organizations testing safety-critical systems like flight operations, power grids, and interbank infrastructure. Each tier applies different levels of model refusal for security tasks using Claude Opus 5.5. _Teams evaluating AI-assisted security tooling can track how access tiers and model refusals evolve via daily.dev._ ### How many vulnerabilities has Anthropic's Project Glasswing actually found and fixed? Partners in Anthropic's program identified at least 129,000 verified software vulnerabilities between April and July 2026, plus another 5,500 through Anthropic's own open-source scanning by October, with over 33,000 rated critical or high severity. Yet of 5,674 true-positive vulnerabilities tracked, only 516 have actually been patched, despite 1,522 being critical severity, showing a large gap between detection and remediation. _Anyone weighing AI vulnerability-scanning claims against real-world patch rates can follow this story on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
