  • Is security blocking you from using Claude Code? 16 hours ago by The Deep View

    Hello, friends. AI agents are becoming powerful enough to act on our behalf, and that's creating a new enterprise security challenge. This week, we examine why running coding agents locally has become too risky for many organizations, and how a new generation of remote, centrally managed environments could make agentic software a lot more practical at enterprise scale. Thanks for tuning into this special weekend edition, presented in partnership with Coder . Let us know what you think! — Jason Hiner See how to run Claude Code in a way IT approves The problem with Claude Code on the desktop
