Cytix is an AI‑driven security testing platform that automatically analyzes every change ticket in the software development lifecycle, flags risky modifications, and generates concise, context‑aware security reviews. For each identified risk it creates a targeted micro‑test that mimics a penetration test, allowing security teams to prioritize effort, catch issues before code ships, and halve their AppSec workload without needing a large dedicated staff.

Problem
Application security teams struggle to keep pace with rapid development cycles, leading to delayed or missed testing of critical changes and leaving production vulnerable to complex bugs such as broken access controls and business‑logic flaws.
Solution
Cytix provides an AI‑driven platform that automatically analyzes every change ticket in the software development lifecycle, identifies risky modifications, and generates concise, context‑aware security reviews. For each identified risk, Cytix creates a short, targeted micro‑test that mimics a real penetration test, focusing on the specific vulnerability rather than generic checklist items. By delivering these reviews and tests continuously, the platform enables security teams to prioritize effort, catch issues before code ships, and reduce overall AppSec workload without requiring a large dedicated staff.
Target Audience
Primary customers are software development and security teams at organizations that ship code frequently and need to augment limited AppSec resources with automated, risk‑based testing.
