Anthropic: Claude Crashes CyberSec Stocks

Over the weekend of February 21-22, 2026, Anthropic introduced a limited preview of Claude Code Security — a specialized AI tool for automatic software vulnerability detection. The market reaction was instant: shares of classic cybersecurity companies plummeted.

This release elevates AI from the status of a passive "IDE assistant" to a full-fledged InfoSec auditor. If a neural network can find zero-day exploits, analyze architectural holes, and immediately propose patches on an industrial scale, vendor software for static and dynamic code analysis risks becoming obsolete. The market is reassessing the value of human and corporate cybersecurity.
