Cycode

Agentic application security from prompt to cloud

paidupdated Apr 21, 2026

Cycode is an AI-native application security platform that converges AST, SSCS, and ASPM into a single solution with the Maestro AI orchestrator managing multi-agent security workflows. It provides native SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC scanning, and container security alongside ConnectorX integration with 100+ third-party tools. Cycode's AI Exploitability Agent reduces false positives by 94%, and the Context Intelligence Graph maps risk across code, pipelines, and runtime environments.

Cycode is an AI-native application security platform founded in 2019 that has raised approximately $81 million and entered the Gartner AST Magic Quadrant in 2025, ranking first in software supply chain security in Gartner's Critical Capabilities report. The platform converges three historically separate security disciplines — application security testing, software supply chain security, and application security posture management — into a unified solution. Native scanning engines cover SAST, SCA with advanced reachability analysis, secrets detection and validation, infrastructure-as-code security, and container scanning. ConnectorX integrates with over 100 third-party security tools to aggregate findings into a single view.

The platform's AI layer operates across three modes. Deterministic scanning engines provide fast, repeatable, audit-ready results. A non-deterministic AI reasoning layer interprets code context and generates targeted rules that feed back into the deterministic engines. The probabilistic prioritization engine performs exploitability analysis considering the full code-to-runtime context — not just CVSS severity — to determine whether a vulnerability is actually exploitable in the specific application environment. This three-layer approach reportedly reduces false positives by 94% compared to traditional tools. AI Governance features discover AI-specific risks across the SDLC and enforce policies aligned with OWASP LLM Top 10, while AI Guardrails intercept secrets in IDE prompts and MCP tool calls before they reach external services.

Cycode Maestro, unveiled in March 2026, is the orchestration layer that manages multi-agent security workflows. It translates natural language queries into structured operations against the Context Intelligence Graph, enabling security teams to answer questions like 'What is our exposure to the latest zero-day?' without manually correlating data across tools. Maestro's agents investigate risk, assess exploitability, propose remediations, and can execute automated actions including generating fix PRs. The platform integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Slack, and Teams. Enterprise customers include Fortune 500 companies across finance, retail, manufacturing, and software verticals.
