Anthropic ban heralds new era of supply chain risk — with no clear playbook

The Trump administration has banned AI company Anthropic from Pentagon systems as a "supply chain risk," requiring government contractors to remove the company's technology within 180 days. However, most organizations lack complete visibility into where and how AI systems are used across their networks, making it extremely difficult to identify and remove Anthropic technology when it may be embedded in applications, APIs (application programming interfaces, which allow software to communicate), developer tools, or third-party services.
