Nextgov: American Water meets with Office of the National Cyber Director on Mythos as OT sector expresses 'annoyance' at exclusion from initial Glasswing rollout

Nextgov/FCW reported on May 4 that operational technology providers are frustrated by their exclusion from Anthropic's initial Mythos rollout under Project Glasswing. American Water — one of the nation's largest regulated water utilities — recently met with the Office of the National Cyber Director to discuss Mythos access. An anonymous source stated: 'There's definitely an annoyance in the OT world,' noting that decision-makers 'weren't thinking in those terms' regarding OT sector needs when determining initial access. The initial distribution focused on major technology and finance companies, leaving operators of energy, water, and transportation systems without access.

The OT sector's formal push for Mythos access — represented by a named water utility meeting with the White House's top cyber office — reveals a structural gap in the Glasswing rollout: critical infrastructure most frequently targeted by nation-state adversaries was excluded while financial and technology sectors were prioritized.
