Cycode Launches Security Platform for Citizen Developers
Cycode now monitors apps made by non-engineers using AI coding tools to help companies spot and secure unmanaged development.
Cycode has expanded its application security platform to cover software built by non-engineers using AI coding agents. The service is designed to give organizations visibility into citizen development, where employees outside formal IT roles create applications with agentic tools.
The platform discovers unmanaged builders, codebases, and development tools that may otherwise operate without central oversight. Once identified, it applies workstation protection, code scanning, and policy guardrails to those environments. This allows companies to permit experimentation with AI-assisted development while maintaining security controls and visibility across the organization.
