Many cybersecurity professionals have been following Anthropic's announcement about the release of Claude Code Security on Friday. This created the beginning of a panic on the cybersecurity stock market. It also raised a lot of questions from domain experts, investors and security enthusiasts.
Anthropic's announcement
Anthropic introduces Claude Code Security: a tool that scans full codebases for security vulnerabilities, and can propose fixes directly in developer workflows. The tool leverages the latest foundational model's reasoning capabilities to provide a new experience. In a world where code will be generated only by AI, this can sound very much like code security is dead.
Our vision
18 months ago, SAST, SCA, and IaC security were areas where we had real traction and could see ourselves expanding. But as AI tooling started reshaping how code gets written, we made a tough call. We decided to stop these initiatives and go all-in on what we believed would matter most: Protecting enterprises against leaked secrets and mismanaged NHIs.
