This is a space many big security vendors have bought into, with Palo Alto Networks spending $157 million on Bridgecrew in 2021 to codify infrastructure configuration during development and $198.3 million on Cider Security in 2022 to secure engineering processes from code to deployment (see: Palo Alto Networks to Buy Startup Cider Security for $250M).<\/p>\n<p>Then in 2023, CrowdStrike spent $239 million on Bionic to obtain visibility into application behavior and prioritize vulnerability remediation. And in 2024, Wiz spent $450 million on Dazz to procure root-cause analysis and remediation capabilities for application vulnerabilities. Palo Alto&#8217;s stock has fallen 7.3% since Claude Code Security was announced Friday, while CrowdStrike&#8217;s stock fell 18.4% over the same period (see: Wiz Fortifies Application Security With $450M Dazz Purchase).<\/p>\n<p>While Claude Code Security could commoditize the code scanning market and devalue CrowdStrike and Palo&#8217;s existing bets, it represents a very small part of their overall platform strategy.
