# Cisco, meet Claude: Mythos AI Defense bundle made available to select few > Source: > Published: 2026-11-10 11:07:05+00:00 Cisco embedded Anthropic's Claude Mythos model into its AI Defense platform for select enterprises. As announced at Cisco Live Melbourne 2026, the capability is designed to help businesses spot security vulnerabilities in AI agents before attackers can exploit them. The release will be rolled out soon to select businesses, adhering to the exclusive nature of Anthropic’s model, which saw a small number of firms, including Cisco, test it as part of the [hallowed Project Glasswing venture](https://www.sdxcentral.com/news/anthropic-bug-hunter-launched-with-all-star-cast-and-good-old-us-patriotism/). Anthropic's decision was put down to the fear of Mythos’ purported bug-finding abilities falling into the wrong hands. In its Australia announcement, Cisco did not specify the kinds of business eligible for the Mythos upgrade, adding that broader availability was planned for "qualified customers on a when-and-if available basis." ## Under the hood With Claude Mythos under the hood, Cisco claimed AI Defense operates exclusively against registered, authorized targets without arbitrarily scanning internet infrastructure. In addition, red teaming engagements will require authentication and are cryptographically tied to a named enterprise operator. Cisco also highlighted revocable execution with the platform, referring to engagements running with fixed objectives as defined by a human-in-the-loop user, with time-bound sessions able to be halted on demand. Dual-layer oversight meanwhile couples product-level controls alongside program-level safeguards and monitoring. Cisco claimed its offering is one of the first AI products on the market to offer a Mythos-driven adaptive AI red teaming framework. “Enterprises are increasingly building AI agents into their core operations and want to test those agents thoroughly before putting them into production,” said Michael Moore, cybersecurity lead at Anthropic. “By bringing Claude Mythos to Cisco AI Defense, Cisco can help security teams red team their agents with advanced reasoning that plans tests and generates attack ideas for each system.”
