Claude Code Security didn’t kill cybersecurity. Instead, it highlighted the growing importance of Frontier AI in security.
Recently, Anthropic launched Claude Code Security, which has sent shockwaves through the public cyber stock market. Many top stocks, including CrowdStrike and Cloudflare, fell by 8% or more, while others like Okta and SailPoint dropped by around 10%.
However, Alon Cinamon, a Principal at Viola Ventures, believes that AI didn’t kill cybersecurity but rather accelerated it. The rise of Frontier AI has increased the complexity of security threats and challenges.
The shift from slow, human-led security to fast, machine-driven security is underway. Claude Code Security focuses on code-focused security workflows that look more like “reasoning and action” than traditional “rules and alerts.”
As software changes rapidly, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities faster, making it harder for defenders to keep up. Moreover, with more data sources and systems coming into play, security teams are struggling to make sense of the signals quickly enough.
The market panic is not because cybersecurity disappears but because parts of the stack get commoditized while new layers become mandatory. The reset in value has begun, with buyers expecting faster outcomes, less noise, and more automation.
Security experts must adapt to this new landscape, where machines do more reasoning, humans do more approving, and remediation moves into the workflow. The future of cybersecurity will be shaped by AI-driven security workflows, machine learning, and data integration.
In short, AI didn’t kill cybersecurity; it accelerated both sides of the battlefield. Security is becoming harder, not easier, as software changes rapidly and attackers move faster.
