FIS is putting Anthropic’s frontier model into critical-infrastructure security workflows
FIS expanded its Anthropic partnership and joined Project Glasswing, using Anthropic’s Mythos 5 in a controlled-access program to identify and remediate security risks in software supporting financial infrastructure. This is a production-oriented cyber use case from a core banking and payments technology provider, not a generic internal copilot pilot.
Action
Ask technology and security teams whether AI-assisted vulnerability discovery can be introduced into secure SDLC and remediation processes with equivalent access controls, audit trails and human escalation paths.
Mastercard is giving UK banks and merchants a sandbox for agentic commerce before production
Mastercard selected the UK for an agentic-AI sandbox that lets financial institutions and retailers test and validate use cases before deployment. The move creates a concrete route for issuers, acquirers and merchants to pressure-test payment-agent controls rather than waiting for industry standards to settle.
Action
Nominate payments, fraud and digital-commerce leads to define the agentic-payment use cases worth testing now—especially authority limits, authentication, dispute handling and merchant liability.
