Booz Allen pledged joint security research with Anthropic on October 8, 2026. A statement by Dave Forbes and Kyle Miller confirms its participation in the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program.
The company plans to contribute industrial operational technology expertise and its own laboratory work. It proposes research on practical safeguards with program partners.
The commitment concerns equipment where digital interventions can have physical consequences. Booz Allen points to its operational technology cybersecurity lab, which replicates real-world industrial environments for security testing.
Anthropic lists Booz Allen as a founding member. That supports the announced collaboration; neither company's statement independently establishes how reliably the resulting safeguards will work.
