Critical Infrastructure Defense Program
Anthropic launched a program that gives critical infrastructure defenders its frontier Claude models, threat research and on-site engineers, with 11 founding partners including CrowdStrike.
The program works through security providers and equipment makers that infrastructure operators already trust. It covers operational technology such as power grids, water utilities, factories and transportation networks, where systems often cannot be taken offline for patching. Anthropic supplies frontier Claude models, threat research and engineers who work on site.
