Cycode Enters the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing (AST), 2025

Director of Product Marketing

TL;DR: We’re thrilled to share that Cycode has been included in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing (AST), 2025. Out of hundreds of vendors in the Application Security market, only 16 appear in the Magic Quadrant™, and Cycode is one of them. We believe this reflects our leadership in converging AST, ASPM, and Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) into a single, AI-Native platform built for the age of AI-generated code.

Why This Moment Matters Now

The application security market is crowded and complex. AI has accelerated both development and risk, yet teams still struggle with disconnected scanners, dashboards, and policies. Our mission from day one has been clear: Secure the Software the World Depends On – and with that we allow Enterprises to unify context across the Software Factory so that they can see everything, understand what matters, and fix it fast.

We believe our debut in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant validates that direction and momentum, especially as the single company that has trailblazed the convergence of AST, ASPM, and Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) into a single, AI-Native platform over the last several years.

What We Believe Sets Cycode Apart

A single, unified AI-Native Application Security Platform for the AI era

  • Unified visibility, for the most secure Fortune 500 Enterprises: AST + ASPM + SSCS on one platform to eliminate blind spots, and lay the foundations for security and development team security and productivity at scale.
  • AI-Native by design: Built and designed from inception to secure AI- and human-generated code, providing context, prioritization, and accelerated remediation from code to cloud.

Modern, Enterprise-grade native scanners from code to cloud 

  • Delivering SAST, SCA, Secrets Detection, IaC, Container Security, and more through proprietary, always-on engines that provide full-spectrum coverage across the Software Factory. As one example: the Cycode platform includes industry-leading, benchmark proven SAST precision that reduces false positives and builds developer trust, combined with the ability to deliver instant security coverage for Enterprises with over 160,000+ repositories.

Risk Intelligence Graph (RIG) & prioritization

  • Correlated exposure and attack path insight from ownership, repositories, to runtime, enriched with exploitability analysis and dynamic risk scoring to surface what actually matters.

The brains of the Agentic AI Teammate

  • Cycode’s Agentic AI Teammate leverages complete code-to-runtime context from the RIG to accelerate code reviews and reduce triaging and remediation time by [99%]. Change Impact Analysis spots material code changes, intelligent risk scoring triages based on business impact, exploitability analysis pinpoints real-world risks, and AI remediation delivers the right fix to the right developer in the right workflow. The teammate works in collaboration with security engineers and developers to close the gap between risk discovery and remediation.

Faster remediation, where developers work

  • Actionable fixes (including automated and AI-assisted workflows), policy-as-code guardrails, PR checks, and CI/CD integrations to help teams remediate faster with less toil.

Built for the Age of AI + Human-Generated Code

AI-generated code has redefined the pace of software development and the breadth of its attack surface. But leading LLMs and AI coding assistants trained on open-source software often lack secure coding expertise and knowledge of the complete application context. Without this context, AI generates (and developers often accept) insecure outputs that add risk and/or require future remediation.

Cycode’s AI-Native platform provides the missing context Enterprises need to secure modern development relying on the work of these leading LLMs:

  • Gain complete visibility across the entire Software Factory including AI/ML technologies and inventory.
  • Prioritize real risk with exploitability signals and business context.
  • Accelerate remediation with AI-auto fixes, automated workflows and AI-powered, developer-friendly guidance.

A Note From Our CEO

“The Application Security market is here to be reset, and AI is the catalyst driving that transformation. Cycode is proud to enter the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AST as the marquee platform built with AI-Native DNA at its core from the start. We believe the way we’ve converged AST, ASPM, and SSCS along with our AI-Native DNA has really given the top Fortune 500 companies in the world the context and confidence to fix what matters.”
Lior Levy, CEO & Co-founder, Cycode
