Hi everyone,
I hope you are all having a great week.
Our Executive Director, Mike Milinkovich, recently published a must-read post on the Eclipse Foundation Blog:
Frontier AI and the next phase of software vulnerability defence. It hits on a massive shift that directly impacts our edge and industrial IoT community.
As many of you know, the traditional mindset in OT and factory floors has often been, "If it works, don’t patch it," because software updates can cause costly operational downtime. However, frontier AI systems have crossed a threshold where they can now autonomously scan software, find vulnerabilities, and analyse exploitability at machine speed. In this new reality, leaving legacy systems unpatched is becoming a major security risk.
To stay ahead of this wave, the Eclipse Foundation, through our partnership with the Alpha Omega Project, has been actively participating in Anthropic’s
Project Glasswing. This initiative gives us early access to the
Claude Mythos Preview platform to
develop advanced, multi-step defensive security workflows.
The Eclipse Foundation is currently
the only European-domiciled entity with access to this platform. This unique position ensures that our European-led open source initiatives and data spaces are backed by some of the most sophisticated AI-assisted infrastructure in the world.
What this means for Eclipse IoT projects
