About Cycode

Cycode is the agentic development security platform that unifies visibility, prioritization, and remediation across the software development lifecycle. Cycode says it unifies control, context, and autonomy on a single platform to find and fix risk before it reaches production. Cycode provides end-to-end controls for the AI layer of the software factory.[5][10]

Cycode says its AI code security combines deterministic rules with AI detection and reasoning. Cycode offers proprietary Application Security Testing tools, including SAST, SCA, and IaC scanning, built natively into the platform. Cycode SAST supports a wide range of programming languages and SCMs. Language support covers Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Go. SCM support covers GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, and Gerrit. Cycode catches misconfigurations across Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, and CloudFormation. Cycode finds container vulnerabilities and correlates them back to the root cause in code.[5][7]

On the software supply chain side, Cycode says it scans, detects, and blocks secret exposure in code, pipelines, productivity tools, and AI assistants. Cycode says it identifies misconfigured pipelines and prevents supply chain attacks with runtime eBPF monitoring. Cycode says it detects proprietary source code exposed to the public. Cycode can ingest, generate, and manage a software bill of materials. Cycode says it auto-discovers shadow AI, coding assistants, and MCP servers across the development environment. Cycode says it enforces policy-driven control over AI tools with full AIBOM coverage.

Cycode describes the Context Intelligence Graph as a single shared graph that distills noisy alerts into risks that matter. Cycode Maestro orchestrates AI Teammates that assess exposure, analyze exploitability, and generate fixes. Cycode says its specialized agents find and fix exploitable risks 17x faster. Cycode says it combines security understanding with code-to-runtime context to determine what attackers can actually exploit. Cycode says it unifies visibility and correlates risk across the ADLC into a single, queryable view. Cycode's risk posture module integrates 120+ tools across SCMs, CI/CD, cloud, ticketing, and security tools. Cycode says teams can create dashboards aligned with their business and stakeholders.[1][8]

The RIG is the ASPM engine behind Cycode's native security solutions and ConnectorX, providing code to cloud traceability and automating vulnerability discovery, prioritization and remediation. ConnectorX is Cycode's click and connect ASPM integration platform that lets companies use Cycode's native ASPM tools or maximize their investments in their existing AppSec tools.[8]

Cycode customers can deploy on public cloud, or on private cloud and on-premises environments through the Cycode Enterprise Server offering. Cycode offers enterprise SaaS customers a choice between EU data residency and Global (US) data residency.

Unity replaced fragmented scanning with Cycode's converged platform and gained unified visibility across thousands of repos. Uphold standardized on Cycode to bring AST, SSCS, and ASPM under a single graph. Cycode says Solaris cut critical-vulnerability MTTR by 99.4% and triage time by 99% after deploying Cycode. theScore is a Cycode customer that uses one platform dedicated to developer security.
