India's CERT-In reportedly secures access to Anthropic's Mythos AI model

What happened

India’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has secured access to Anthropic's Mythos AI model. According to The Indian Express, the agency gained access as part of ongoing initiatives focused on AI testing and collaborative project engagements.

Why it matters

Access to a frontier model allows a national cybersecurity agency to evaluate adversarial risks and safety mitigations firsthand. This engagement influences how state regulators assess defensive capabilities and security protocols within critical digital infrastructure.

Bigger picture

The move highlights the growing cooperation between national cybersecurity bodies and AI developers. As generative systems evolve, regulators are increasingly seeking direct technical interaction to manage systemic risks and inform AI security policies.
