NEC disclosed that it will use Mythos for its own cyber defense operations. It will use the Mythos preview to test the automation of vulnerability detection and countermeasures, while evaluating its effectiveness and safety.
The Mythos preview will be used in NEC’s software development and vulnerability mitigation efforts. The company plans to apply the resulting insights to customer services, governance and employee training.
NEC has joined Project Glasswing, a consortium of companies that can use Mythos, combining Mythos’s advanced analytical capabilities with NEC’s expertise in infrastructure development and cyber defense.
NEC partnered with Anthropic in April and is developing AI services for corporate customers. In June, it also began working with 8 financial institutions to enhance financial services and improve security measures. Hitachi, Ltd. likewise used the Mythos preview in July to streamline verification work on cyber measures for social infrastructure.
