Method and Palantir are announcing the Cardinal Program: a consortium of AI, infrastructure, and security partners to strengthen national cyber resilience. America’s municipalities, water and power utilities, and critical infrastructure operators now face cyber adversaries armed with AI. Their defenders should not have to stand alone. Cardinal will provide select municipalities, utilities, and critical infrastructure operators with free, opt-in, continuous autonomous security assessments - with expert operators and human oversight. If your organization protects critical systems or public services, we want to hear from you.

America's elite security teams are now asking: how do we safely wield AI for real-world cyber operations? Models and agents alone can't be trusted. Operators need new cyber mission systems: platforms that bring this intelligence into their workflows with their tools, their tradecraft, and their rules of engagement. These systems have to work wherever conflict plays out: inside our companies, at the tactical edge, and in orbit. Method builds those systems. Our customers in the US Government and America's critical enterprises use them in production to test their resilience and deter their adversaries.

Method is building autonomous cyber systems for the U.S. Government and critical enterprises. America is facing perpetual cyber conflict. With AI accelerating the speed and scale of attacks, U.S. cyber operators need new capabilities to stay ahead. Method is delivering those capabilities. We are building the command-and-control layer for autonomous cyber operations. Our products fuse offensive and defensive capabilities into a full-spectrum platform, enabling security teams to achieve true visibility, challenge their estates, and outpace their adversaries. Today, Method is deployed across the Defense Department, U.S. Federal Government, and Fortune 500. We've raised $26M from @a16z, @generalcatalyst, @blackstone and others. This funding accelerates our mission to equip the security teams defending what matters most.

Last week, Anthropic's report revealed what America's top cyber operators already knew: Our adversaries are weaponizing AI to automate attacks on our vital institutions at scale. American cyber resilience is no longer optional. anthropic.com/news/disruptin…
