Anthropic Expands Claude Access for Security Teams With Three-Tier Verified Program

Anthropic announced a major expansion of its Cyber Verification Program on October 6, 2026, consolidating separate security initiatives into a unified, three-tier framework that grants vetted security professionals access to advanced Claude models with relaxed safety restrictions. The restructured program combines Anthropic's original Cyber Verification Program—launched in April 2026—with Project Glasswing, its initiative targeting organizations protecting critical infrastructure.
