Workstation protection
Block malicious
packages before
they install
Stop software supply chain attacks before they start. Cycode Workstation Protection blocks malicious packages before developers or agents install them.

Workstation protection
Extend agentic development security to developer workstations
Software supply chain attacks have moved upstream, weaponizing trusted open-source packages that developers and agents install before traditional security checks run. Protect every workstation from supply chain attacks in real time.
Check every package against a live threat intelligence feed
Block malicious packages
Every install is checked against a continuously updated threat intelligence feed. Confirmed-malicious packages are stopped regardless of when they were published, including versions that have already aged past a cooldown window.
Protect against malicious versions of trusted packages
Enforce cooldown policies
Release-age gating blocks versions published too recently to have been scrutinized, the window in which compromised releases are most often installed. Enforcement happens on the device, so the policy holds no matter what a developer or agent is running.
Deploy across the expanding attack surface
Protect every workstation
AI development has expanded the attack surface from a few devices to every workstation with a coding agent. Protect them all with one lightweight control that deploys at speed and scale through MDM and covers every developer workstation.
Block malicious packages
Stop software supply chain attacks before they start
Supply chain defenses that start downstream of the device are often too late. A credential-rich machine is exposed before code is generated or a security check runs on a pull request. Cycode makes the install command an enforcement point, evaluating every package before it reaches the machine.
Install-time interception
npm and pip installs are intercepted and evaluated in real time, before any package code executes.
Live threat intelligence
A continuously updated feed of known-malicious packages and versions, checked before install.
Persistent threats covered
Confirmed-malicious packages are blocked regardless of publish date, including long-lived slopsquatting bait.
Protection for agents and developers
A coding agent pulling dependencies at machine speed meets the same enforcement a developer does.
AI created a new software
development reality.
Enforce cooldown policies
Leverage the ecosystem to catch compromised packages
Software supply chain attacks often hijack trusted packages to ship a malicious version. Cooldown policies block recently published versions, giving maintainers and researchers time to find and flag malicious versions.
Centrally defined policies
Security teams set release-age thresholds in one place and it applies across the fleet.
Secured, not locked down
Dial the threshold to match risk tolerance instead of removing a capability developers need.
Consistent coverage
Enforcement holds regardless of package manager version or whether a local config was ever set correctly.
Unified evidence trail
A single policy and audit record across engineering and non-engineering endpoints.
Protect every workstation
Protect every workstation from malicious packages
Coding agents expanded the attack surface to every workstation with source repositories, cloud credentials, SSH keys, publish rights, and coding agents that can read and traverse the codebase. Cover them all.
Deploy through MDM
One lightweight control pushed through the tooling you already run. No new infrastructure.
Full coverage, no friction
Developer workstations are covered without changing how they work, so nobody routes around the control.
Fleet-wide visibility
See what was installed, blocked, and held. Connect signals from endpoint to inventory.
Secure AI adoption without
slowing development
Cycode helps security teams discover AI across the SDLC, govern what is allowed, protect developer workflows in real time, unify AI risk, and orchestrate action across the software factory.
