Fleet joins Anthropic's Project Glasswing to test AI for endpoint security
Fleet, an open-source device management company, has joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, a controlled-access program for its Claude Mythos Preview model. The collaboration aims to evaluate how frontier AI can enhance the security of device management systems and infrastructure. Fleet’s primary goal is to address the significant latency gap in security response; internal research indicates that…
Key points
- Fleet joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing to access Claude Mythos Preview for endpoint security research.
- Fleet aims to close the gap where 79% of orgs take over a day to patch, while attackers act in hours.
- Fleet will openly share research findings on using AI for endpoint state understanding and remediation prioritization.
By leveraging early access to Claude Mythos Preview, Fleet intends to test AI capabilities against real-world endpoint management workflows before the model’s general release. The research will focus on understanding endpoint state, prioritizing remediation efforts, and accelerating internal security operations. Fleet emphasizes that because its platform is open source, the insights gained from this collaboration will be shared openly with the broader device management and security community.
This initiative aligns with Fleet’s founding anniversary and its commitment to transparency. The company believes that sharing practical learnings from using frontier AI in security contexts will help vendors and IT teams better identify, evaluate, and respond to rapidly evolving threats. The partnership highlights a growing trend of integrating advanced AI models into critical infrastructure security to keep pace with AI-driven attacks.
Fleet Device Management joins Anthropic’s Project Glasswing to research AI-powered endpoint security
9to5mac.com · 15 September 2026
Fleet announced today that it has joined Project Glasswing, Anthropic’s controlled-access program for its Claude Mythos Preview. Fleet will use the access to evaluate how frontier AI can strengthen the security of device management systems, protocols, and the infrastructure around them, with a focus on closing the gap between how quickly threats emerge and how quickly IT teams can respond.
Fleet’s own Road to AI in IT research found that 79% of orgs take more than a day to deploy critical security patches, even as attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities within just a few hours. That gap is the problem Fleet is aiming to close, and the company says early access to Claude Mythos Preview gives it a chance to test emerging AI capabilities against real-world endpoint management workflows before general release.
“The speed of today’s AI-driven attacks has fundamentally changed what organizations expect from their technology providers,” said Gabe Chan, Staff IT Engineer at Abridge. “Vulnerabilities are manipulated by bad actors almost instantaneously now. As a result, vendors must continuously improve how they identify, evaluate and respond to risk. We’re encouraged to see Fleet investing in research that helps strengthen its own security while contributing practical learnings back to its customers and the industry.”
Fleet says the work will focus on understanding endpoint state, identifying remediation priorities, and increasing the speed and safety of internal security operations. Because Fleet is open source, it says it will share what it learns openly so the broader device management and security community can build on it and everyone can become more secure.
“As a company that specializes in making IT and security teams’ lives easier, celebrating Fleet’s founding anniversary with a renewed commitment to our own product security feels fitting,” said Mike McNeil, CEO and co-founder of Fleet. “We are all about community and transparency. Since Fleet is open source, this Anthropic collaboration will help our customers and the wider security community understand where frontier AI can meaningfully improve the security of endpoint management workflows.”
