At Cycode, enterprise readiness is our guiding principle, and it’s shaped the design and functionality of our complete Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) solution. We understand the unique challenges organizations face in securing their software development lifecycle from code to cloud, and we’ve crafted our product to meet those needs effectively. 

For example:

  • Easy integration with existing tools (including on-prem)
  • Robust access controls (SSO & RBAC)
  • Compliance monitoring
  • Unmatched scalability

Keep reading to learn more about how Cycode’s features can help you improve your application security posture without burning out your security and development teams.

Onboarding and Setup at Scale in 1-Click

Integrating a new security solution with thousands of developers and countless projects across an enterprise can be daunting. Cycode simplifies this process to a single click. Our onboarding process is engineered for speed and scalability, ensuring seamless integration into existing development workflows without disrupting productivity.

The journey begins by preparing to integrate Cycode with your code-to-cloud tools. When it comes to integrating Cycode across your SDLC, the first step involves integrating your source code management (SCM) system, build tools, artifact repositories, and cloud environment. This integration is crucial as it enables Cycode to correlate your entire pipeline, providing comprehensive insights and immediate security scanning to identify vulnerabilities and surface important findings.

SSO & RBAC: Simplified and Secure Access Management

Managing user access securely and efficiently is critical for any enterprise. Cycode addresses this with Single Sign-On (SSO) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). 

SSO enables your organization’s users to log into all relevant platforms using their corporate credentials, streamlining access and enhancing security. RBAC ensures users have appropriate access levels tailored to their roles: admin, project manager, member, or viewer.

In our platform, you can connect whatever Identity Provider your  organization uses(Google, Azure, Okta, etc.) to Cycode with the SSO protocol. To configure the SSO login, go to the SSO settings page and configure your IDP application’s ACS + identity provider as mentioned there. If you want,you can sync your own IDP roles into Cycode roles with our role mapping configuration by defining a simple role claim in the protocol, 

We continuously refine roles with our design partners and customers across four main personas: AppSec teams, engineering, DevSecOps, and executive levels. 

Soon, we’ll introduce custom roles capabilities, allowing us to meet customers’ unique needs. Our flexible role management ensures we can adapt to diverse workflows and requirements, recognizing that organizational team collaborations vary.

Project Hierarchy: Organized for Efficiency

We know that managing numerous projects across various teams can be overwhelming. That’s why Cycode’s project hierarchy feature enables you to create a clear structure that mirrors your organization’s setup. 

By defining projects and associating them with specific users and assets, security findings can be managed and resolved efficiently. This organized approach enhances accountability and provides transparency into how different units are performing against security targets. 

Projects in Cycode are highly flexible, and the combination of the assets and hierarchy structure can visualize and track various aggregations of business assets such as business units, product areas, product lines, applications, and teams.

The result ?Comprehensive monitoring during your security posture management.

CMDB: Leveraging Existing Knowledge

Leveraging the existing knowledge and business asset monitoring within your organization is crucial. Our wide range of asset scanning capabilities makes this process easier and more effective.

Bonus: Cycode offers a flexible approach to creating projects based on your current Configuration Management Database (CMDB) or other asset databases, and our API can easily integrate with your existing CMDB. This helps you maintain consistency and utilize trusted data.

Broker + OnPrem: Flexibility in Integration

Enterprises often have complex IT environments, including legacy tools and systems that are especially difficult to integrate and are managed on-premises 

The Cycode Broker acts as a liaison between Cycode and your on-premises deployment, allowing code scanning without network access to internal assets. This hybrid solution provides on-premises customers with the benefits of a SaaS cloud-based deployment while maintaining isolation of their on-premises cluster.

Audit Logs: Comprehensive Monitoring and Compliance

Compliance and accountability are critical for enterprises. 

Cycode’s detailed audit logs provide a transparent view of all platform activities. Whether monitoring developer activity, PR scan history, or accessing user activity logs, our audit functionality ensures a complete and accessible record. This supports compliance and aids in internal audits and investigations.
