India is in talks with the United States to secure access to Anthropic's Project Glasswing to strengthen cybersecurity testing of its critical digital infrastructure, a senior government official said on Friday.
Speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Cybersecurity Summit, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Secretary S. Krishnan said access to the advanced AI model would help India stress-test its digital systems against frontier artificial intelligence capabilities.

"We are talking with American counterparts to get access to Project Glasswing," Krishnan said, adding that it would enable India to "stress-test our systems on Anthropic's systems."
He said India is not waiting for those discussions to conclude and has already begun testing critical systems using AI models currently available to it.
According to Krishnan, around 60-70 percent of the cybersecurity testing exercise can already be carried out using existing AI models while discussions with the U.S. on access to Project Glasswing continue.
In April, U.S.-based AI company Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, bringing together Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Palo Alto Networks to improve the security of critical software systems.
Krishnan's remarks come as India steps up efforts to strengthen cyber resilience amid the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and its growing role in identifying vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure.
Separately, reports said Apple is accelerating the rollout of software updates to strengthen user security as AI makes it easier for cybercriminals to develop sophisticated hacking tools. The company is reportedly releasing several security-focused updates earlier than planned instead of bundling them into a major iOS release.
