Summary

New AI tool reasons through code like a security researcher.
It identifies vulnerabilities and suggests software fixes.
Limited preview access is available for select customers.

Anthropic has introduced Claude Code Security, a new feature for its AI coding tool designed to detect security vulnerabilities within codebases. This advanced capability moves beyond traditional rule-based systems by employing AI that can analyze code with a logic similar to human security researchers.

The tool provides identified issues with severity and confidence ratings, helping security teams prioritize threats. It automatically re-examines findings to reduce false positives. Users will receive identified issues on a dashboard for assessment and action; the AI will not directly alter code.
