Anthropic Security Preview Sent Stocks Tumbling

So Anthropic launched Claude Code Security on February 20th, scanning code bases for vulnerabilities using Opus 4.6 and identifying 500 previously undetected bugs, but it sent stocks crashing. Command AI CrowdStrike. If you don't know CrowdStrike, they are a security-focused startup. They're actually responsible for the blue screen of death of last year, if anyone remembers that on Microsoft. And the owner asked if Claude Code could replace CloudStrike, and it said no. I have to be straightforward. Building a replacement for CrowdStrike isn't something we can do here. Cuz he basically this this owner shared his exchange. Of course, Claude said no. I bet this is his third try. So and it was like, right, it said no, I'm going to share this conversation now. Anyway, a massive platform built by thousands of engineers over a decade plus. So ultimately it said no. Um but Claude Code Security tool triggered a sharp sell-off across cybersecurity sector. The CEO's response comes after Anthropic's announcement of Claude Code Security on February 20th sent February 20th sent cyber cybersecurity stocks tumbling. CrowdStrike shares dropped roughly 8% on Friday and fell another 10% on Monday across the sector. Okta lost over 9%, uh SailPoint 9%, Cloudflare 8. Jesus Christ, just from a a cloud security feature. Isn't so bad because Claude doesn't have handle live intrusion detection, active threat response, or runtime security. So, I have a few thoughts on this. Um so this is the announcement and uh you can take a look at it here. It's basically a I think it's in preview or something like that. I don't think every any everyone has it. But if you type {slash} security review, you do get a security review um out of Claude. Everyone had that. This has been something that's been around for ages. I think this is a new and updated version, obviously, and this idea that it can't do real-time, you know, tracking. To me, just seems like someone could just build that, right? You can just build a polling system that detects for, you know, um vulnerabilities or finds vulnerabilities and then that triggers if it finds something, then it triggers um Claude code, says, "Hey, does this uh does this vulnerability affect us? Look at the code and fix it." So, although the the cuz obviously you're working on historic training data when it comes to LLMs, you can build some harnesses, some ecosystems around it to to do that. And then the other thing is, I would be interested to Do you remember uh React to Shell? React to Shell is a critical critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in React server components. So, basically, ever since server components have been around, um I don't know how long that's been, this has been a vulnerability. It would be really interesting to download that version of React, set Opus 4.6 on it, and say, "Is there anything wrong here?" Or test out that system that I just spoke about, which informs React about Sorry, informs uh Claude about the vulnerability and sends it off, maybe giving it some brief There's been a vulnerability about this. Is this a Is this apparent? Like, what am I trying to say here? Make it vague enough that it's like we you're you're saying to Claude does this affect this piece of code? Obviously this code being react, right? It would be really interesting if this code either Opus on its own or the security um slash command or this new you know, this new whatever it is can pick it up. So, let's have a little quick watch of this. So, this is uh called desktop. And it just finds a bunch of stuff like that. It's really nice. Details. Suggest fixed. Yeah, research preview. There you go. Interesting the fact that it made stocks fall. That's kind of wild to be honest. This is part of a larger conversation on my show command AI which we stream live every single week.
