SEOUL, June 3 (Reuters) – South Korea’s Science Ministry said on Wednesday that the Korea Internet & ​Security Agency (KISA) had secured access to ‌Anthropic’s cybersecurity AI model, Mythos, through participation in the company’s Project Glasswing alongside major ​Korean companies.

The Ministry of Science and ​ICT said in a statement it ⁠had been working continuously with Anthropic ​and confirmed KISA’s participation in the initiative, ​which is aimed at using frontier AI models to identify and help fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

The ​confirmation followed a Financial Times report ​that Anthropic would expand access to Mythos to about ‌150 ⁠organisations in more than 15 countries, including South Korea, and that Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), SK Hynix (000660.KS) and SK Telecom (017670.KS) were ​among the ​companies included ⁠in the expansion.

Samsung Electronics declined to comment, while SK did ​not immediately respond to a ​request ⁠for comment.

The ministry said South Korea would continue efforts to improve its cybersecurity ⁠capabilities, ​including by using various ​frontier AI models and strengthening domestic AI-based information security ​technologies.
