Can AI coding tools help with security scanning?

Several AI coding tools include built-in security analysis. Amazon CodeWhisperer/Q scans for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities as you type. GitHub's code scanning (separate from Copilot) uses CodeQL for deep static analysis. Snyk Code integrates with most IDEs and uses AI to detect security issues. For critical code, combine AI suggestions with dedicated SAST tools rather than relying on coding assistants alone.
