There has been a lot of recent attention on Claude and cybersecurity. Anthropic recently shared that Claude helped Mozilla identify 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in just two weeks, including 14 high-severity issues. That is a powerful sign of where AI-assisted security is headed.

But for most website owners, the lesson is not that AI replaces real security tools. It is that security needs to be checked regularly, measured clearly, and understood by the people responsible for the site.

At Web Experts, we routinely test our own website using trusted tools like Qualys SSL Labs and Security Headers by Snyk. Our most recent results came back at A+ for SSL and A for Security Headers, which puts the site in a strong position from both an encryption and browser-protection standpoint.

This is something every website owner should run.

AI tools like Claude can absolutely help you interpret website security results, summarize what matters, and point you in the right direction. But for a standard site-level check, Claude is often relying on established scanners like SSL Labs and Security Headers rather than performing a deep independent penetration test itself. That distinction matters.

Your website is not just an online brochure. It is an access point to your business. If it is poorly configured, outdated, or missing critical protections, it creates unnecessary risk for both you and your users.
