Anthropic launched Claude Security to counter faster AI-driven cyberattacks, as tools like Mythos enable near-instant exploitation by threat actors.

Anthropic introduced Claude Security to help defenders keep up with a surge in AI-powered cyberattacks. As models like Mythos drastically reduce the time needed to exploit vulnerabilities, similar tools will likely spread among criminals and nation-state actors. Claude Security aims to give security teams the capabilities needed to respond to this new, faster threat landscape.

“Claude Security is now in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers. Scan code for vulnerabilities and generate proposed fixes with Opus 4.7, on the Claude Platform, or through technology and services partners building with Claude.” reads the announcement.

Claude Security is now in public beta for Enterprise users, giving organizations advanced tools to detect and fix software vulnerabilities. As AI rapidly improves, new models can not only find flaws but also exploit them automatically, reducing the time window between discovery and attack. Anthropic recently introduced Claude Mythos, capable of matching top experts in identifying and exploiting weaknesses.

With Claude Security, companies can use the powerful Claude Opus 4.7 model to scan code, uncover complex issues, and generate targeted fixes. Already tested by hundreds of organizations, the tool now offers scheduled scans, easier integration, and better tracking, without requiring complex setup.

Anthropic is also integrating its technology into major security platforms through partners like CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, and Palo Alto Networks, alongside consulting firms such as Deloitte and Accenture. As AI accelerates cyber threats, the goal is to equip defenders with equally advanced capabilities to keep pace.

Claude Security is easy to use: users select a repository or specific code scope and launch a scan directly from Claude. The system analyzes code like a security expert, understanding how components interact, tracing data flows, and identifying real vulnerabilities rather than relying only on known patterns.

After scanning, it delivers detailed findings with confidence levels, severity, impact, and reproduction steps, along with clear instructions to fix issues.

Based on feedback from hundreds of organizations, Anthropic improved detection accuracy, reduced false positives, and added confidence scoring. Teams can now move from scan to fix much faster, sometimes in one session. Scheduled scans also provide continuous security coverage instead of one-time checks.

“With this release, we’ve also added the ability to target a scan at a particular directory within a repository, dismiss findings with documented reasons (so that future reviewers can trust prior triage decisions), export findings as CSV or Markdown for existing tracking and audit systems, and send scan results to Slack, Jira, or other tools via webhooks.” concludes the announcement.
