Problem
Traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace with modern software development, especially with the rise of GenAI, leading to delayed vulnerability detection and increased risk exposure. Existing "shift left" models often become bottlenecks, failing to provide real-time security insights without disrupting the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Solution
Cygnostic offers a runtime-powered application security platform that automates API security testing and integrates secure coding training directly into the SDLC. By leveraging runtime intelligence, the platform prioritizes and mitigates application security risks, including those related to GenAI and LLM APIs. Cygnostic's solutions encompass application security posture management (ASPM), dynamic API security testing, and threat hunting, investigation, and response capabilities. The platform provides context-based security, enabling developers and CISOs to focus on critical vulnerabilities and ensure robust software deployment.
Target Audience
Cygnostic targets developers, CISOs, and security teams seeking to integrate security seamlessly into their SDLC and protect their applications and APIs from evolving threats, including those introduced by GenAI.
