Show Notes
In this episode of Prime Cyber Insights, we dive into Anthropic's major release of Claude Code Security, a tool built on the Opus 4.6 model that functions like a human security researcher to map entire codebases. While this signals a new era for defensive automation, the urgency of current threats remains high. We cover the active exploitation of CVE-2026-1731 in BeyondTrust products, which led to ransomware attacks within 24 hours of a public PoC. The conversation also addresses the critical situation at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where 35 clinics have been forced offline, and the escalating frequency of DDoS attacks reported by Radware.
