Artificial intelligence models are frequently in the news for the cybersecurity threats they pose, but there’s a flip side: They can also play a strong defensive role. And one powerful new cybersecurity tool out there is now available to Anthropic’s enterprise customers.

The AI giant announced on Thursday that Claude Security is in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers across the world to use to defensively scan their own code for vulnerabilities; it can also suggest and deploy patches. Anthropic announced service partners including Accenture, BCG, Deloitte, Infosys, and PwC, which the company says are already deploying Claude to ramp up enterprise security.

“To combat AI-fueled cyber threats, our clients need advanced solutions they can deploy today, not tomorrow,” global lead of Accenture Cybersecurity Harpreet Sidhu said in a statement. “With this powerful model, Accenture is already delivering mission-critical cyber defenses at scale, helping organizations move quickly from adoption to immediate implementation.”
