TrendAI, the company’s enterprise cybersecurity arm, announced a partnership with Anthropic to work on AI agentic automation, AI-native security operations, and to develop systems aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in AI systems.
The partnership comes amid increased investor focus on AI-linked cybersecurity, especially after Anthropic unveiled its Mythos AI model, which it claimed was too powerful to release to the public due to its ability to find several high-severity vulnerabilities.
