Anthropic Proposes Using Claude to Reduce Code Attack Surface
- AI can be used not just to find vulnerabilities but to automatically map and reduce code attack surfaces
- Reducing code reachability is more effective at mitigating unknown and zero-day risks than fixing individual known bugs
- The approach aims to improve security of existing deployments at low cost, encouraging developer adoption
