Ask HN: Experiences with Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program?

A Hacker News user reported that their organization was allowlisted by Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program but is still being downgraded to Opus 4.8 when checking its own code for security problems. The user asked other Hacker News readers about their experiences with the program and for recommendations on automatically checking their own code, noting that others appear able to circumvent the restriction or use different LLMs.

| | | 2 points by zuInnp20 minutes ago |hide |past |favorite |discuss | | | | Our org got allow listed by Anthropic's Cyber Verficiation Program, but we are still getting downgraded to Opus 4.8 when we want to check our own code for security problems. It is pretty annoying ... and it looks like other people are able to either circumvent this or are using different LLMs that are not like that. What are your experiences with Anthropic's Cyber Verficiation Program? Any recommendations to check our own code in a rather automatic fashion? |
