Anthropic is launching Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS), a solution designed to provide state-of-the-art misuse detection while maintaining zero data retention for enterprise customers. The system stores activity data in cloud infrastructure controlled by the customer rather than Anthropic, allowing for correlation of signals across time and accounts without the model provider retaining the information.
- EFS allows customers to store monitoring data in their own cloud accounts (such as Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage) under their own encryption keys and access policies.
- Automated safety monitoring analyzes a rolling window of traffic for serious misuse, such as offensive cyber capabilities or stolen credentials, sending flags directly to the customer.
- The solution eliminates the need for Anthropic human review, ensuring that privileged legal material and non-public information remain accessible only to the customer's cleared teams.
- EFS is being developed in collaboration with over 100 customers from industries including finance, healthcare, and law, as well as cloud partners AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
This architecture enables regulated enterprises to deploy frontier models safely by giving them full custody of their data while still benefiting from advanced security monitoring capabilities.
