# Anthropic Adds Claude Mythos 5 to Claude Security for Vulnerability Scanning

> Anthropic has put its Mythos 5 model to work inside a new product called Claude Security, now in public beta for enterprise customers. The tool connects to GitHub repositories, traces how data flows through a codebase, and returns findings classified by CWE category and severity, complete with confidence ratings and suggested patches for each issue it flags. The idea is to give security teams an assistant that reads code the way an experienced reviewer would, surfacing weaknesses before attackers do. Anthropic paired the launch with a 35 million dollar Defender Advantage Fund aimed at open-source security projects, a signal that it wants to be seen as arming defenders rather than just shipping raw capability. The move lands in a crowded moment, with rivals like OpenAI also pushing dedicated security models. It also carries an irony worth noting, since the same underlying models that can autonomously hunt for vulnerabilities are the ones safety researchers worry could be misused. Whether AI code review meaningfully shrinks the backlog of unpatched flaws is the real test ahead.
