The ADLC Security Platform
That Goes Beyond Socket
Socket built a genuinely differentiated technique for catching malicious packages before they enter your codebase. But deep package inspection is one lane of the supply chain problem. Cycode adds native SAST, secrets detection, IaC scanning, CI/CD posture management and Cycode Maestro for agentic remediation that closes findings rather than surfacing them. One platform. Every lane covered.
Agentic Remediation
AI that confirms exploitability, generates code fixes, and creates PRs automatically.
Proprietary SAST Engine
Native scan engine with a 2.1% FP rate on the OWASP Benchmark: 94% fewer false positives.
Native Engine + Orchestration
Both a native scan engine and a 100+ connector orchestrator via ConnectorX.
Context Intelligence Graph
Semantic risk graph spanning code, pipelines, cloud and runtime environments.
AST + ASPM + SSCS Unified
SAST, SCA, Secrets, IaC, Container and supply chain security in one platform.
Software Supply Chain Security
SBOM and AIBOM generation, CI/CD pipeline posture, attestation and artifact-to-runtime lineage.
Secrets Detection Across the Stack
Scans code, CI/CD, Slack, Teams, Confluence, Kubernetes and build logs.
Developer Remediation
AI-powered fix suggestions, bulk remediation and automated PR creation.
ADLC Visibility for the AI Era
AI model inventory, AIBOM, MCP server security posture and hallucinated dependency detection.
CI/CD Security
Native pipeline posture management, attestation and poisoned pipeline detection.
Compliance and Reporting
Automated compliance controls validation, SSCS policy enforcement and audit-ready reporting.
Enterprise Scale and Backing
Gartner tier-one recognition across AST, SSCS and ASPM with organizational scale for multi-year commitments.

One alert fired. Now what?
Socket surfaces the problem. Cycode surfaces the problem and closes it. When your developers get a Socket alert on a production dependency at 2am, Cycode Maestro is the platform that confirms exploitability, maps blast radius, generates the code fix and opens the PR. Socket does one lane well. Cycode does all of them.
Maestro remediates. Socket surfaces.
Socket does one thing well: it identifies risky and malicious packages before they land in your codebase. Useful. But identifying is not resolving. Cycode Maestro confirms exploitability, analyzes blast radius, generates code fixes, creates pull requests and tracks resolution across every tool in your Agentic Development Life Cycle. Socket creates the alert. Maestro closes it.
Native engine plus orchestration
Socket is a SCA point solution with no native SAST capability. Your team still needs a separate SAST tool, secrets scanner, IaC scanner and ASPM platform. Cycode is a native engine and a 100+ connector orchestrator via ConnectorX: proprietary SAST at a 2.1% OWASP FP rate, SCA with reachability analysis, secrets detection and full ASPM from one platform. You should not need five tools to cover what one platform delivers.
SSCS depth beyond malicious package detection
Socket stops at package behavior: malicious installs, obfuscation, telemetry and typosquatting. That is one part of software supply chain security. Cycode maps the full supply chain: Software Bill of Materials and AI Bill of Materials generation, CI/CD pipeline posture, attestation and artifact-to-runtime lineage via the Context Intelligence Graph (CIG). That is what SSCS compliance actually requires.
94% fewer false positives
Socket has no native SAST engine: there is no published SAST accuracy benchmark because there is no SAST product. Cycode proprietary SAST hits a 2.1% false positive rate on the OWASP Benchmark: 94% fewer false positives versus alternatives. When developers trust their alerts, they act on them. When they do not, findings pile up. The difference is the engine.
Full ADLC visibility for the AI era
AI is writing more of your code every quarter. Socket has no AI model inventory, no AI Bill of Materials, no MCP server security posture and no hallucinated dependency detection. Cycode governs the full Agentic Development Life Cycle: tracking AI-generated code, AI model usage and agentic tooling risk across your entire development environment. Your next platform needs to cover the code your next developer does not write.
A platform built for the long haul
Enterprises do not just buy software. They buy roadmaps. Socket has raised approximately $25M with 50-80 employees and no independent analyst recognition across AST, SSCS or ASPM. Cycode carries Gartner tier-one recognition across AST, SSCS and ASPM, with the organizational scale and independent backing to deliver on the commitments it makes. Ask: will this vendor still be here in three years?

Trusted by the enterprises that cannot afford to get it wrong
Security leaders who evaluated their options and chose Cycode share what they found when they made the move.
"If you need a swiss army knife of tools it's a fantastic tool. I really like the amount of solutions and third party integrations Cycode supports so I can populate all results into a single place"
“Cycode was like a breadth of fresh air. It enables our engineers to handle findings more efficiently and get things done, rather than just creating a bunch of noise.”
“Cycode has helped us with visibility and surfacing the security risk that exists in our software development process.”
