"CISA's operations still haven't been prioritized by the administration, possibly putting digital security at risk. The agency is meant to serve as the central coordinating body for cybersecurity information."
"Anthropic has been in ongoing discussions with US government officials about Claude Mythos Preview and its offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, indicating interest in broader access."
CISA, the central cybersecurity coordinator, does not have access to Anthropic's Mythos Preview, a tool for identifying security vulnerabilities. Other agencies, including the Commerce Department and NSA, are utilizing this model. Ongoing discussions between Anthropic and government officials indicate CISA was briefed on the tool. However, limitations on CISA's workforce and funding suggest a lack of prioritization by the administration, potentially jeopardizing digital security efforts. CISA's role is crucial for coordinating cybersecurity information and assisting local officials in managing vulnerabilities and attacks.
