AI for security
AI Security Tools
Audit your code for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, leaked secrets, vulnerable dependencies, broken auth, encryption gaps, and HIPAA / GDPR / SOC 2 compliance, all with AI. Each skill produces severity-rated, file-level findings with concrete fix code, not vague warnings.
Short answer
AI security tools audit code for OWASP Top 10, dependency CVEs, leaked secrets, broken auth, and compliance gaps. The best in 2026 are skills-hub's `secure`, `pentest`, `owasp`, `hipaa`, `gdpr`, `soc2`, `dependency-scan`, and `secrets`, all portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Copilot, Windsurf, and Cline.

Frequently asked questions
What are AI security tools?
AI security tools use a language model to audit code for security vulnerabilities, OWASP Top 10, broken auth, SQL/NoSQL injection, XSS, leaked secrets, vulnerable dependencies, encryption gaps. The best ones produce severity-rated, file-level findings with concrete fix code rather than vague warnings.
What's the best AI security audit tool in 2026?
For full-stack risk scoring: skills-hub's `secure` skill (dependency vulns + secrets + OWASP + 0-100 score). For pentest with PoC payloads: `pentest`. For HIPAA: `hipaa`. For GDPR/CCPA: `gdpr`. For SOC 2: `soc2`. For OWASP Top 10: `owasp`. All portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI.
Can AI find real vulnerabilities, or just style issues?
Real ones. Modern AI pentest skills find auth bypasses, SQL injection, SSRF, broken JWT validation, leaked secrets, and prototype pollution, with proof-of-concept payloads. They're not a replacement for a paid pentest, but they catch the obvious issues before a human ever sees the code.
Does AI handle HIPAA and GDPR compliance audits?
Yes. The `hipaa` skill maps code-level findings to 45 CFR sections (administrative + technical safeguards). The `gdpr` skill inventories PII fields, audits consent flows and DSAR workflows, and produces a privacy policy diff. Both ship audit-ready artifacts.
How do I install an AI security skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install secure` (or `pentest`, `owasp`, `hipaa`, `gdpr`, `soc2`, `dependency-scan`, `secrets`). Trigger with the slash command in Claude Code or Cursor, or use as MCP prompts in any compatible tool.
Should I run AI security scans in CI?
Yes. The skills-hub `secure-ship` composition runs OWASP + dependency scan + secret detection on every PR via GitHub Actions. Combined with scheduled tasks (Claude Code), you get nightly security audits without thinking about it.
