CISA is deploying Anthropic's Mythos—an offensive security model—to find vulnerabilities in federal software before adversaries do. This is the first documented use of a private AI system at this scale for government code review. The move signals that AI vulnerability detection outperforms traditional auditing, but introduces a dependency: the federal government now relies on a commercial AI vendor's model reliability and security posture to protect critical infrastructure. Similar AI-powered security programs are likely to spread across agencies. The arrangement raises questions about what happens if the AI itself becomes a target or if its outputs are later weaponized.
