- Anthropic introduces “Claude Code Security,” a new AI feature to scan software codebases for vulnerabilities and recommend patches.
- Currently available in limited research preview for Enterprise and Team customers.
- The feature aims to detect vulnerabilities that traditional methods often miss by simulating the analytical capabilities of a human security researcher.
- Anthropic emphasizes that the AI tool is designed to counter AI-enabled attacks by providing defenders with a more robust security baseline.
- Vulnerabilities are passed through a multi-stage verification process to reduce false positives and include a severity rating for prioritized attention.
- The results are presented in an analyst dashboard where humans review and approve patches, maintaining a human-in-the-loop approach.
- Each identified vulnerability is given a confidence rating to assist in assessing their severity and significance.
