Shares of companies in the cyber security solutions space have nosedived after an American-based AI company, Anthropic PBC, unveiled a tool that is capable of autonomously finding and patching possible software vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

At the time of filing this report, JFrog shares were 24 per cent down, CrowdStrike Holdings’ shares were 8 per cent down, Okta was over 9% down, and GitLab was over 8 per cent.<\/p>\n

Similarly, shares of Zscaler, Rubrik Inc, and Palo Alto Networks also dropped sharply, data showed.<\/p>\n

Anthropic’s Claude Code Security is a new capability built into Claude Code on the web. The company said it is now available in a limited research preview. <\/p>\n

“It scans codebases for security vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix security issues that traditional methods often miss,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Claude Code Security is intended to put solutions squarely in the hands of defenders and protect code against this what it said new category of AI-enabled attack. <\/p>\n

“We’re releasing it as a limited research preview to Enterprise and Team customers, with expedited access for maintainers of open-source repositories, so we can work together to refine its capabilities and ensure it is deployed responsibly,” their statement added.<\/p>\n

Ever since the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, many have been apprehensive that AI-integrated companies may emerge as competitors. <\/p>\n

There’s growing investor angst over generative AI software coding tools and automated AI assistants, and how they might impact traditional software companies — their broader business outlook and, in particular, their profit margins.
