Checkmarx Alternative For Application Security Testing

Securing applications and the software supply chain requires understanding the relationships between applications, components, people, tools, pipelines, runtime environments, and risks.

The Cycode platform was purpose built to fill the visibility gaps that have historically frustrated application security programs.

Where does Cycode stand out from Checkmarx?

The Cycode platform includes and orchestrates all the AppSec tools you need. AppSec findings are correlated to provide context across the SDLC, delivering more accurate and relevant results, which improves collaboration between development, AppSec, and operational teams.

Secure SDLC Foundation

Cycode ensures tools are configured securely, roles are segmented and permissions audited, and security best practices are followed throughout the application lifecycle.

Pipeline Integrity

Cycode protects code and container dependencies, as well as pipeline dependencies such as open source build tools, pipeline actions and plugins, and infrastructure modules.

contextual Insights

Cycode monitors the entire SDLC and reports findings with full context so you can avoid manual investigation and prioritize the most important findings.

Unparalleled Platform

Cycode delivers a seamless user experience with comprehensive reporting dashboards for security pros and deep integrations with developer workflows to shift security left without context switching.

Risk Based Prioritization

With visibility from code to cloud, Cycode eliminates silos to understand your application, dependencies, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments.

Instant Value

Integrate your DevOps tools in less than 1 minute to deliver immediate value and allow maximum agility across your SDLC, all without complicated pricing or packaging.
