Stress on organisations to patch vulnerabilities a ‘major concern’ for NCSC’s Joseph Stephens.

The European Commission and several EU member states, including Ireland, are in talks with Anthropic over Mythos, as countries worldwide scramble to protect their vulnerable critical infrastructure from cyber risks.

“We’ve had direct contact with them,” the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)’s director of resilience Joseph Stephens told SiliconRepublic.com, referring to Anthropic, whose European headquarters is based in Ireland.

“But we’re working through the European system because there’s more strength in having a coordinated approach.” Stephens was speaking to SiliconRepublic.com during the recent ZeroDayCon event in Dublin.
