Program links security vendors and Anthropic's research

The program brings cybersecurity and critical infrastructure leaders together with Anthropic's technical guidance and frontier research. It also serves as a forum for sharing defensive practices and informing research. CrowdStrike says adversaries are using AI to operate faster and at greater scale, which shortens defenders' response windows.

IDC's assessment (Doc #US54117426, September 2026) singled out Caylent's dedicated Anthropic partnership and its AgentCore-based agentic engineering accelerator, noting the firm is positioned early among boutique AWS partners building production-grade agentic solutions rather than pilot-stage AI tooling.
