Kraken Teams With Anthropic for AI Security
Kraken's parent company Payward partners with Anthropic to use AI-powered cybersecurity tools for vulnerability hunting.
The update
Kraken parent company Payward has joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, gaining access to Claude Mythos 5 to scan its systems for security vulnerabilities. The company will use the AI to identify flaws, with findings reviewed and patched through its existing security program. This makes Payward the first reported crypto company to join the project and gain access to Claude Mythos 5.
Why it matters
This partnership represents a significant step in applying advanced AI to cryptocurrency security. As crypto platforms handle increasing amounts of value, enhanced security measures become critical to protect both companies and their customers. The approach could help protect financial infrastructure and strengthen open-source software used across the crypto industry.
What to watch
How Payward’s use of Claude Mythos compares to traditional security methods, whether other crypto companies follow suit, and if the AI discovers any previously unknown vulnerabilities in crypto infrastructure. The move follows an open letter from over 40 crypto companies demanding better AI security access.
