New Delhi: India is undertaking tests of some of its most sensitive public-facing financial and government application software to better understand their vulnerabilities to Anthropic PBC’s next-generation Mythos AI model, according to Indian officials familiar with the matter.
Indian technology giants Infosys Ltd. and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. are among companies carrying out the tests of their software for vulnerabilities in a secure environment to Mythos, the officials said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. Infosys in particular is looking to devise patches to its widely used Finacle banking software, they said.Separately, India’s state-run cybersecurity agency CERT-In is undergoing tests of key digital infrastructure including the Aadhaar national ID program and government login systems, said the officials. The companies, which don’t currently have access to Mythos, are using Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7 AI software to patch vulnerabilities, they said.
