Government of Alberta uses Claude to find and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities

Anthropic News

The Government of Alberta used Claude Code to scan 466 million lines of government code across 27 provincial ministries, identifying security vulnerabilities and gaps that had never undergone systematic review. The scan, conducted by roughly 50 autonomous agents working in parallel, took 20 hours to complete work that the team estimates would have required 6.5 years using traditional approaches. Alberta's team used Claude to fix identified vulnerabilities, write missing automated tests, and rebuild outdated systems in modern languages, with plans to consolidate 185 legacy applications into 16 reusable applications and expand the approach across all provincial government ministries.
