Today, Claude is excited to announce the launch of Claude Code Security as a limited research preview. This new tool is designed to scan codebases for vulnerabilities, providing targeted software patch suggestions for human review. With Claude Code Security, teams can identify and resolve issues that traditional tools often overlook.
Key Features of Claude Code Security:
- Vulnerability Scanning: Quickly identifies potential security flaws in codebases.
- Targeted Patch Suggestions: Offers specific patches for vulnerabilities, facilitating easier resolution.
- AI-Powered Insights: Utilizes advanced AI models to find bugs and vulnerabilities that may have been hidden for a long time.
The introduction of Claude Code Security aims to raise the security baseline across the industry. Given the increasing effectiveness of AI models in identifying code flaws, we anticipate that a substantial portion of the world’s code will soon be scanned by AI tools.
We are opening access to this limited research preview for Enterprise and Team customers, and open-source maintainers can apply for expedited access. This initiative is a significant step towards achieving more secure codebases, ultimately benefitting builders and developers by providing stronger security measures and more efficient bug resolution processes.
