We’re proud to share that Cycode has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS), 2026. We believe this reflects the conviction behind our mission from day one: to secure the software the world depends on, end to end, with its Agentic Development Security Platform built for the age of AI-generated code.
Why We Feel This Moment Matters Now
The software supply chain has become the front line of application security. As AI accelerates the pace and volume of code, the attack surface has expanded across every stage of how software is built: open source dependencies, secrets and non-human identities, CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and now the AI and ML components woven into modern development. Yet most organizations still defend this surface with a patchwork of point tools that cannot see how risk moves from one stage to the next.
In our view, Gartner establishing a dedicated Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security signals that the market has reached an inflection point. The supply chain is no longer a sub-topic of AppSec. It is a discipline of its own, and securing it requires a platform that was built for it.
We believe being named a Leader in this Magic Quadrant validates the bet Cycode made years ago: that the only durable way to secure the supply chain is to converge Software Supply Chain Security, ASPM, and Application Security Testing on one AI-Native platform, powered by proprietary scanners and a single context layer from code to runtime.
What We Believe Sets Cycode Apart
A single, Agentic Development Security Platform purpose-built for the supply chain
End-to-end supply chain coverage: Cycode secures the full software supply chain, from open source dependencies and hardcoded secrets to CI/CD pipelines, build integrity, and source control, on one platform that eliminates the blind spots between disconnected tools.
AI-Native by design: Built from inception to secure both AI- and human-generated code, with the context, prioritization, and accelerated remediation that modern development demands.
Modern, native proprietary scanners across the supply chain
Cycode delivers SCA, Secrets and NHI Detection, CI/CD pipeline security, IaC, and Container Security through proprietary, always-on engines, complemented by Cimon for build hardening and artifact integrity. We believe owning the full scanning stack, rather than stitching together third-party engines, is a structural differentiator that gives enterprises consistent, high-fidelity coverage across the entire Software Factory.
Context Intelligence Graph (CIG) and prioritization
The CIG correlates exposure and attack-path insight from ownership and repositories through to runtime, enriched with exploitability analysis and dynamic risk scoring, so teams can see how supply chain risk actually propagates and focus on what matters most.
AI and ML supply chain governance
As AI becomes part of the supply chain itself, Cycode extends protection to the AI layer through AI-BOM, AI and ML asset inventory, AI Guardrails, and MCP Server protection, giving enterprises visibility and control over the agentic development lifecycle alongside their traditional supply chain.
Faster remediation, where developers work
Actionable fixes, policy-as-code guardrails, PR checks, and CI/CD integrations help teams remediate faster with less toil, closing the gap between supply chain risk discovery and resolution inside the workflows developers already use.
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, and the supply chain has absorbed much of that risk. Leading LLMs and AI coding assistants pull from open source at scale, introduce new dependencies, and increasingly act as autonomous participants in the build process. Without complete context, that velocity translates directly into supply chain exposure.
Cycode’s AI-Native platform provides the context enterprises need to keep pace:
- Gain complete visibility across the entire supply chain, including AI and ML technologies and inventory.
- Prioritize real risk with exploitability signals and business context drawn from the Risk Intelligence Graph.
- Accelerate remediation with AI-assisted fixes, automated workflows, and developer-friendly guidance.
A Note From Our CEO
“Securing the software supply chain has always been at the heart of why we built Cycode. To be named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security is a massive recognition for our team and a signal that the market is converging on the approach we have championed from the start. We believe our combination of native proprietary scanners, a single context layer from code to runtime, and AI-Native DNA is exactly what enterprises need to secure both their supply chain and the AI now building on top of it.”
— Lior Levy, CEO and Co-founder, Cycode
