Anthropic merges Cyber Verification Program with 'Project Glasswing' into three access tiers: Defense, Red Team, Specialized (report)

Announced October 6, 2026

What happened

According to Korean media reports, Anthropic on the 6th (local time) announced a new system that applies different levels of Claude model access and safeguards depending on a security team's work and risk level. It combines the existing Cyber Verification Program (CVP) and 'Project Glasswing' and runs them as three access tiers: Defense, Red Team and Specialized. Compared with today's item on the CVP expansion, the new details are the Glasswing merger and the three-tier structure.

Why it matters

The approach of managing dual-use cyber capabilities, where defensive and offensive functions overlap, through tiered access controls has become more concrete. It could serve as a reference for security teams using frontier models.
