Coverage across Gartner reports spanning AI & Cybersecurity, Application Security, DevOps, and Software Supply Chain Security underscores Cycode’s Complete Approach
- Comprehensive Approach to Application Security: Gartner has named Cycode across multiple reports and categories, which we believe highlights our platform’s comprehensive approach to securing the entire software development lifecycle.
- Key Security Categories: Our presence is noted in critical areas, including Application Security, AI and Cybersecurity, DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Software Supply Chain Security.
- A Consistent Theme: The mentions point to a recurring theme of providing integrated security solutions that address the complexities of modern development and AI technologies.
- Emphasis on Risk Management: Our recognition in reports on Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) and Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) underscores the platform’s focus on managing risk from code to cloud.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of application development and cybersecurity, a unified and comprehensive security strategy is more critical than ever. Over the past months, Gartner has published several key reports that highlight the emerging technologies and market trends shaping this space. We are proud to have been mentioned in multiple of these reports, a recognition that we believe underscores our platform’s broad capabilities in securing the entire software development lifecycle. Our mentions span across critical areas like AI & cybersecurity, application security, DevOps, platform engineering, and software supply chain security, reflecting our commitment to a holistic, end-to-end security approach.
Here’s a closer look at where Gartner has recently recognized Cycode:
Hype Cycle for AI and Cybersecurity, 2025
The inaugural Hype Cycle for AI and Cybersecurity, 2025 explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and security. Cycode is acknowledged as a Sample Vendor for multiple categories in this report. In addition to being listed for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), the report also recognizes Cycode as a Sample Vendor for Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs). Gartner describes SBOMs as a foundational element for managing software supply chain risks by providing a structured inventory of software components and their associated metadata. The report highlights the importance of SBOMs in enhancing transparency, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
Hype Cycle for Application Security, 2025
In the Hype Cycle for Application Security, 2025, Gartner recognizes several innovative technologies aimed at advancing application security programs. Cycode is mentioned as a Sample Vendor for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). ASPM tools are noted for their ability to continuously manage application risk by collecting, analyzing, and prioritizing security issues from across the software life cycle. This helps security and software engineering teams by integrating security tools and data, improving visibility, and focusing efforts on the most critical issues. The report positions ASPM as a transformative technology that is maturing to help streamline DevSecOps and improve the developer experience.
Hype Cycle for Agile and DevOps, 2025
The Hype Cycle for Agile and DevOps, 2025 examines innovations that are shaping modern software engineering practices. In this report, Cycode is mentioned as a Sample Vendor for Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS). The document defines SSCS as the process of building secure software by protecting against compromises in code, tools, identities, and pipelines during the development, delivery, and post-deployment phases. It further notes that SSCS helps organizations mitigate security and compliance risks from the widespread use of open-source software and satisfies regulatory requirements by making the software delivery infrastructure auditable.
Hype Cycle for Platform Engineering, 2025
In the Hype Cycle for Platform Engineering, 2025, Gartner evaluates technologies that enhance developer experience and productivity. Cycode is again recognized as a Sample Vendor for Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) and for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). The report highlights how platform engineering initiatives, such as creating “secure paved roads” by default, require close collaboration between platform and security teams. It notes that SSCS and ASPM are critical for embedding security into platforms to provide a secure and compliant developer experience.
Market Guide for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms
The Market Guide for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs), published in August 2025, provides an overview of solutions designed to secure cloud-native infrastructure and applications across their lifecycle. This report mentions Cycode as an example vendor that focuses on identifying the relationships between developers, development tools, and the artifacts they create. These vendors add value by having a deep understanding of the provenance of artifacts, which helps in identifying the team responsible for remediation and speeding up the resolution process. The guide notes that CNAPPs aim to consolidate a variety of security capabilities to offer a unified view of risk from code to cloud.
Market Guide for Software Supply Chain Security
The Market Guide for Software Supply Chain Security, released in April 2025, defines SSCS tools as those that protect against compromises during software development and delivery. Cycode is listed as a representative vendor for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) vendors that include SSCS capabilities. The guide highlights that SSCS tools are critical for reducing third-party risks through policy-based curation of dependencies, software composition analysis (SCA), and software bill of materials (SBOM) inspection. It also notes that SSCS tools help teams meet regulatory mandates and protect against state-sponsored attacks.
Cycode Delivers a Complete Platform for Application Risk Reduction in the AI Era
The mentions of Cycode in this diverse range of Gartner reports, from Hype Cycles to Market Guides, across different security and development categories, demonstrate a consistent theme: the value of a platform that offers comprehensive security and risk management. As the industry continues to grapple with the complexities introduced by AI, cloud-native architectures, and modern development practices, a unified and integrated security approach is no longer a luxury but a necessity. We believe our continued presence in these influential reports reflects our commitment to providing a platform that addresses these challenges and empowers organizations to innovate securely.
