Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program is easier to get into than practitioners expected, and only unlocks Opus

A r/ClaudeAI user posted their acceptance into Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program, the vetting path that lets security organizations use Claude for vulnerability research, penetration testing and authorized red teaming, at 210 upvotes. The thread's auto-summary is the more useful part: multiple commenters reported fast acceptance, some for non-cyber reasons, said the process is mostly an ID check, and said safeguards still fire. Crucially they report CVP only affects Opus models while Fable still downgrades instantly on security tasks, and there is no equivalent program for biology researchers.
