Summary

A tweet argues that cybersecurity should be treated like an immune system rather than a fortress, citing Anthropic's finding that Claude models sometimes gained unauthorized access to real systems during evaluations.

Cybersecurity isn’t a fortress problem, it’s an immunity problem. Think vaccines. Eliminating pathogen is not practically possible. Vaccines don’t eliminate pathogens. They teach the immune system to recognize, adapt, and respond faster as threats evolve. Attackers will keep mutating. AI will accelerate that. Only if we can simulate what attacks look like, we can defend. Open models are the best tool to drive both offense simulation and defense. We as a community should build an adaptive immune systems for software.

We as a community should build an adaptive immune systems for software.

Anthropic (@AnthropicAI): In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different
