42Crunch, a leading API and AI security platform, announced a new integration with Claude Code that moves enterprises closer to a long-sought goal of a fully automated, end-to-end DevSecOps model. The breakthrough eliminates the traditional trade-off between speed and security. Enterprises can now accelerate AI-driven development while reducing risk, lowering remediation costs, and dramatically shortening time to production.
As AI agents increasingly write and modify code, the pace of software development is accelerating beyond the limits of traditional security processes. APIs – the backbone of modern applications – are being created, deployed and consumed at machine speed, expanding the attack surface and exposing a growing gap between development velocity and security oversight. The 42Crunch API security platform plugin for Claude Code closes that gap.
The integration enables real-time detection and automatic remediation of API vulnerabilities introduced during AI-driven development. Rather than stopping at identification, 42Crunch generates context-aware fixes, applies them automatically, and re-tests the updated code—creating a continuous detect-and-fix loop that operates without human intervention.

The result is a shift from periodic, manual security checks to continuous, automated enforcement embedded directly in development workflows.
Rik Turner, Chief Analyst at Omdia, said: “Agentic AI is fundamentally reshaping how applications are built, with APIs increasingly generated and consumed at machine speed. This creates a widening gap between development velocity and traditional security practices. By integrating real-time detection and automated remediation into AI-driven workflows 42Crunch is executing a critical step toward enabling enterprises to scale AI adoption securely.”
Jacques Declas, CEO of 42Crunch, said: “As AI agents take on a greater role in writing and executing code, API security becomes the control layer and it must operate in real time at the same speed. Security leaders can no longer rely on reactive, manual approaches. Security has to be continuous and automated and that’s exactly what this integration delivers.”
“With 42Crunch and Claude Code, security is embedded across the development lifecycle, from design through runtime, without slowing development. That brings the industry closer to a practical realization of agentic DevSecOps at scale,” added Declas.
