Abstract
With reference to the launch of Claude Code Security by Anthropic, the promise is no longer mere automation; it’s out-and-out autonomous vulnerability discovery, exploit generation, and remediation at machine speed. Markets reacted to it violently. Security stocks dipped. Analysts panicked. If AI can find, exploit, and patch vulnerabilities faster than human teams and conventional point products, what happens to the $200B+ cybersecurity ecosystem, which is busy building tools, generating alerts, and employing a lot of manpower? Does this indicate disruption or outright demolition? How real is it? Was the reaction more sentiment-based, or is there some reality in it?
