About

Cycode is an agentic Application Security Posture Management platform that gives security and engineering teams unified visibility and automated remediation across the full software development lifecycle. Native scanners cover SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC misconfigurations, and container vulnerabilities, while the Risk Intelligence Graph correlates findings across tools and surfaces the critical one percent that poses real exploitability risk. Four specialized AI agents — Change Impact, Risk Intelligence, Exploitability, and Fix — automate scanning, triage, and code-fix suggestions, cutting the manual work required to close findings. Over 100 ConnectorX integrations centralize results from third-party scanners alongside Cycode's own data. Gartner ranked Cycode number one in Software Supply Chain Security in its 2025 Critical Capabilities for Application Security Testing report.
