Cyberhaven Selected for Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program to Advance Defensive AI Security Research

Anthropic has selected Cyberhaven for its Cyber Verification Program, an application-based program that supports legitimate defensive cybersecurity work involving advanced AI capabilities.

The approval gives designated Cyberhaven teams access to advanced AI capabilities with fewer interruptions from default safeguards for certain high-risk, dual-use cybersecurity tasks, subject to Anthropic's applicable policies and program requirements. Cyberhaven will apply these capabilities to research on data exfiltration, insider risk, sensitive data exposure, and the security challenges that generative and agentic AI create.

Defenders Must Match the Speed and Sophistication of AI-Driven Threats

As AI agents become more deeply embedded in enterprise workflows, security teams must protect data not only at rest, but also as users access, summarize, copy, transform, and move it at machine speed. Understanding how adversaries use AI to exfiltrate data, evade detection, and exploit enterprise workflows requires defenders to work with the same tools and the same depth of capability.

Cyberhaven has been committed to securing data across its lifecycle from day one. This partnership strengthens Cyberhaven's ability to apply leading AI research to customer protection.

Five Areas of Defensive Research

Cyberhaven will apply its Cyber Verification Program approval across five research areas:

1. Detecting emerging data-exfiltration techniques and evasive behaviors
2. Strengthening defenses against AI-assisted insider risk
3. Improving the identification and classification of sensitive data
4. Modeling how autonomous agents access, transform, and move enterprise data
5. Developing more effective controls for securing AI adoption at scale

A Platform Built for the Full AI Lifecycle

Cyberhaven's Unified AI & Data Security Platform combines data security posture management, data loss prevention, insider risk management, and AI security with deep data lineage to help organizations understand how sensitive information is used and stop data loss without slowing down the business.

Every insight from the Cyber Verification Program feeds directly into platform capabilities, keeping customers ahead of the data risks that come with AI adoption.

Enterprise security has entered a new era. Cyberhaven and Anthropic are building in it together.
