Cyber: Ultimate Guide: Anthropic Rolls Out Claude Security For AI Vulnerability Scanning
Anthropic has launched Claude Security in public beta to its Claude Enterprise customers. Previously known as Claude Code Security, the cybersecurity tool is built on Anthropic’s latest generally available AI model, Claude Opus 4.7, to scan codebases to find and patch software vulnerabilities. It comes with scheduled and targeted scans, easier integration with audit systems, and improved tracking of triaged findings, according to the AI firm. No API integration or custom agent build is required. “If your organization uses Claude, you can start scanning today,” a company statement said. Meanwhile, access for Claude Team and Max customers is coming soon, according to the AI firm. Claude Security can be accessed directly from the Claude.ai sidebar, or at claude.ai/security. “While scanning, Claude reasons about code much like a security researcher. Rather than finding vulnerabilities by searching for known patterns, Claude seeks to understand how components interact across files and modules, traces data flows, and reads the source code,” Anthropic described. Claude then provides a detailed explanation of each of its findings, including its confidence that the vulnerability is real, how severe it is, its likely impact and how it can be reproduced. It also generates instructions for a targeted patch. Claude Security has already been tested by hundreds of organizations of all sizes in limited research preview.
