# Anthropic Expands Cyber Verification Access

Anthropic expanded its Cyber Verification Program (CVP) into Defense, Red Team and Specialized Access tiers, enabling verified cybersecurity teams to use Claude models with fewer cyber-related restrictions. Federal contractors and agency security teams can assess which tier fits their work; Specialized Access requires U.S. government vetting, and participating organizations must retain data for misuse monitoring. The extracted opportunity information also lists Anthropic’s $1-per-user OneGov offer for federal agencies through October 31, 2026. The 2026 FedCiv Summit on October 29 will cover federal AI adoption and modernization.

- Contractors and agency security teams should evaluate their eligibility for the CVP tiers and whether they can meet the government-vetting and data-retention conditions for Specialized Access.
- Federal agencies may assess the listed OneGov offer at $1 per user, which is available through October 31, 2026.
- Organizations interested in federal AI adoption topics can attend the 2026 FedCiv Summit on October 29, 2026 (21 days from the current date).
