Native Scanning

Cycode includes built-in security scanners:

  • SAST - Static analysis with cross-file dataflow tracking
  • SCA - Software composition analysis for dependencies
  • IaC - Infrastructure as Code security scanning
  • Containers - Container image vulnerability scanning
  • Secrets - Hardcoded credential detection

CLI & CI/CD Integration

# Install CLI
pip install cycode

# Authenticate
