SAST vs Claude Code Security: A Deep Dive In my previous post on Why SAST is Broken!, we explored some of the challenges and limitations of traditional static analysis tools. Now, with the preview release of Claude Code Security last Thursday, there’s been a lot of buzz, ranging from curiosity…
There are lots of ways we can optimise what we do, through a data driven approach, but we need to be careful and use critical and creative thinking.
Why are so many people just diving, straight into the code? A minimum of requirements and design? Perhaps a threat Model?
We need to fix the culture, from top to bottom in the software engineering industry. Here are just some of the issues as I see them and what we should be doing about them.

Threat modeling with teams is a process that requires visuals, interaction between team members and discussion and so lends itself to everyone being in a room together. This has been quite hard the last two years. It also doesn’t look to be getting any easier, so we should probably get used to it. Here’s how I’ve been doing it with several teams.
So often organizations believe that Application Security stops at penetration testing and fixing vulnerabilities but it is more than that, penetration testing is the reactive side of things but you also need the proactive aspects of Application Security to reduce the flow.
