US cyber agency uses Anthropic's Mythos to audit government code

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is using Anthropic's Mythos AI model to audit government software code. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.

According to sources, CISA uses Mythos to identify vulnerabilities in open-source code and government systems. This step is part of the US government's efforts to enhance cybersecurity and ensure code security through artificial intelligence.

Anthropic's Mythos model is specifically designed for code analysis and security checks. This AI helps the agency quickly identify potential threats and maintain the integrity of government systems.

Reuters reports that this is not CISA's first major step in using AI, but the specific use of Mythos has not been previously disclosed. The agency views this as an innovative approach in cybersecurity.
