Introduction

Modern software security requires more than isolated point tools – the tools you have in place need to be interoperable and drive unique value. Vulnerabilities discovered in production often trace back to code-level issues left unresolved during development and the lack of visibility between the two creates dangerous blind spots.

That’s why Cycode and Bright Security have partnered to integrate Bright’s dynamic application security testing (DAST) with Cycode’s Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform. Together, they deliver continuous visibility and faster remediation by connecting runtime findings to their source code origins.

From Discovery to Remediation: Without the Gaps

Bright’s DAST engine continuously scans live applications and APIs to identify real, exploitable vulnerabilities in running environments. Cycode ingests these findings directly, correlating them with SDLC assets such as repositories, branches, commits, and code owners.

The result: full exposure path mapping from vulnerability → endpoint → repository → developer.

This combined workflow allows teams to:

  • Trace DAST findings back to source code and automatically assign remediation to the right owner or team.
  • Enrich runtime insights with commit metadata, environment details, and build context from CI/CD pipelines.
  • Automate remediation workflows by pushing correlated issues into Jira, GitHub, GitLab, or IDE plug-ins.
  • Validate fixes through Bright’s retesting API, closing the loop between code and runtime.

By unifying detection and remediation, Cycode and Bright ensure that vulnerabilities are not just found, but they’re fixed.


Why Cycode and Bright Are a Natural Fit

The partnership builds on deep technical synergies between the two platforms:

CapabilityBright SecurityCycode
Testing ScopeDynamic runtime scanning (DAST, API, web app)Code, IaC, secrets, dependencies (SAST/SCA/IaC)
Insight LayerExploitability and runtime contextSource code mapping, ownership, and SDLC posture
RemediationValidation and re-testingAutomated assignment, ticketing, and policy orchestration

Joint customers can now bridge the gap between runtime discovery and code-level response — eliminating siloed AppSec data and manual triage.


Use Case in Action: Closing the Loop on Runtime Findings

Consider a SQL injection vulnerability detected by Bright’s scanner in a staging environment. Previously, triaging such a finding might take days as security teams manually traced the issue back to a developer or repo.

With Cycode’s integration, the finding is instantly enriched:

  • Cycode maps the vulnerable endpoint to its originating repository and commit.
  • The platform identifies the responsible code owner.
  • A Jira issue is automatically created and linked to the relevant pull request.
  • Once remediated, Bright revalidates the fix via API.

This closed-loop workflow reduces remediation time from days to hours and eliminates the back-and-forth that typically slows down AppSec teams.


Customer Spotlight: Benevity

“As organizations look to shift security earlier in the development cycle, Bright’s testing capabilities paired with Cycode’s end-to-end visibility represent a major step forward. Together, we see a future where developers get guided, actionable security insights before code ever reaches production helping teams reduce risk without slowing innovation.”

~ Rick Backley, Manager, App Sec and Product Security, Benevity


The Impact: Unified Context, Measurable Results

Organizations adopting the Cycode–Bright integration gain:

  • Consolidated visibility across all AppSec scanners and assets.
  • Data-driven prioritization using exploitability and code exposure together.
  • Reduced MTTR by routing issues directly to the developer who owns the code.
  • Improved posture tracking through Cycode’s Risk Intelligence Graph and SDLC mapping.

This partnership transforms DAST from a reactive testing tool into an actionable component of a continuous security program.

What Our Customers Say About Us

"Empowering our developers with Bright Security's DAST has been pivotal at SentinelOne. It's not just about protecting systems; it's about instilling a culture where security is an integral part of development, driving innovation and efficiency."

Kunal Bhattacharya | Head of Application Security

"Bright DAST has transformed how we approach AST at SXI, Inc. Its seamless CI/CD
integration, advanced scanning, and actionable insights empower us to catch
vulnerabilities early, saving time and costs. It's a game-changer for organizations aiming to
enhance their security posture and reduce remediation costs."

Carlo M. Camerino | Chief Technology Officer

"Bright Security has helped us shift left by automating AppSec scans and regression testing early in development while also fostering better collaboration between R&D teams and raising overall security posture and awareness. Their support has been consistently fast and helpful."

Amit Blum | Security team lead

"Bright Security enabled us to significantly improve our application security coverage and remediate vulnerabilities much faster. Bright Security has reduced the amount of wall clock hours AND man hours we used to spend doing preliminary scans on applications by about 70%."

Alex Brown

"Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse."

Bobby Kuzma | ProCircular

"Since implementing Bright's DAST scanner, we have markedly improved the efficiency of our runtime scanning. Despite increasing the cadence of application testing, we've noticed no impact to application stability using the tool. Additionally, the level of customer support has been second to none. They have been committed to ensuring our experience with the product has been valuable and have diligently worked with us to resolve any issues and questions."
