IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the latest expansion of its enterprise security program for the AI era, and partners with Anthropic as a member of Project Glasswing, an industry initiative to defend the world's critical software infrastructure.

For decades, IBM has secured the systems the world depends on, from mainframes processing global financial transactions to the open-source platforms and hybrid cloud environments at the core of critical industries in more than 175 countries. As attackers use frontier AI to accelerate every phase of the attack lifecycle, from reconnaissance to vulnerability discovery to exploitation, IBM is pairing its deep experience with a new generation of defenses built for the AI era.

Project Glasswing extends these efforts, uniting a coalition of security and technology leaders committed to protecting essential infrastructure and sharing findings across industries. As part of Glasswing, IBM has been identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in widely used software and sharing those findings with the broader community.

"AI-powered attacks have already moved beyond what traditional defenses can match. We're helping clients assess their exposure and putting tools like IBM Concert to work in more environments. Separately, as part of Project Glasswing, we've been hardening our own products and contributing fixes back to the open-source community. The collaboration makes the entire ecosystem stronger," said Rob Thomas, SVP Software & Chief Commercial Officer, IBM.

This is where IBM is already investing and leading:

IBM contributes findings from Glasswing through coordinated disclosure, upstream open-source patches, and best practices shared with fellow participants â?? reflecting the company's long-held view that openness and scrutiny are prerequisites for security at scale.
