"The promise behind Claude Code Security is that overburdened security teams can have some of their work taken over by AI. According to Anthropic, existing analysis tools do not do enough because they do nothing more than go through lists of known vulnerabilities. AI can test the software for layered threats, such as exploits of the specific codebase that arise from its design."
"The new feature works differently from classic static analysis, the workhorse of security teams for securing codebases at a basic level. Instead of comparing code to known attack signatures, Claude Code Security reads the code "the way a human security researcher would," according to Anthropic. In other words, the system understands how components interact, tracks how data flows through applications, and detects complex vulnerabilities such as logic errors or misimplemented access controls."
Anthropic launched Claude Code Security in a limited preview that Claude Enterprise and Team customers can request access to. The tool scans entire codebases to discover complex, context-dependent vulnerabilities that traditional tools often miss. Claude Code Security analyzes how components interact, tracks data flow through applications, and identifies issues such as logic errors and misimplemented access controls rather than matching known vulnerability signatures. Anthropic positions the feature to ease workloads for overburdened security teams facing expanding codebases and sophisticated attacks. The company warns against false positives and opaque AI reasoning and routes every finding through a multi-stage verification process before analyst review. Potential attacker misuse remains a concern.
