Kraken parent Payward joins Anthropic’s Project Glasswing for AI security push
Payward, the parent company of Kraken, has joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing to integrate the Mythos 5 AI model into its cybersecurity infrastructure. The initiative aims to help financial and critical infrastructure firms identify and mitigate software vulnerabilities more effectively.
Why it matters
As AI-driven cyber threats increase, the adoption of frontier AI models by crypto exchanges highlights a critical shift toward proactive, automated defense in the financial sector.
Project Glasswing is Anthropic’s initiative that allows selected firms to use restricted frontier AI models to help secure critical software and infrastructure against cyber threats. The project already includes tech giants such as Amazon Web Services, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, as well as financial institutions such as JPMorganChase.
The Wyoming-based company said Monday it plans to deploy Mythos 5 across its environments in the coming weeks, with findings feeding into its existing security program. Payward also plans to share vulnerabilities found in third-party open-source software with the relevant project maintainers.
The move comes after the U.S. government made Mythos 5 available to U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure, according to Payward. Anthropic launched Project Glasswing in April 2026 and has since expanded the initiative to organizations in technology and finance.
