Cycode, a startup that provides solutions for protecting software source code, emerged from stealth mode on Tuesday with $4.6 million in seed funding.
Cycode provides a platform designed for source code control, detection and response. The solution should help organizations concerned about the exposure of intellectual property (IP) found in source code. While the platform can be used by organizations in any industry, the startup says it can be particularly useful to entities in the financial, healthcare and high-tech sectors, for which their software represents a core component of their products and services.
Cycode claims it has no competitors as no other company provides solutions capable of protecting source code from every angle. The company believes source code cannot be fully protected with existing solutions, such as source code management (SCM), cloud access security broker (CASB), or data loss prevention tools.
Cycode’s Source Code Control, Detection and Response Platform is designed to address the challenges of securing source code that is increasingly distributed across the cloud and hosting services such as GitHub and BitBucket, and SCM products such as Microsoft’s Team Foundation Server.
Cycode’s platform can be quickly deployed by integrating it through an API with existing systems, such as Team Foundation Server, GitLab, BitBucket and GitHub. Once deployed, the solution should provide security teams visibility and control over the entire source code inventory to help prevent source code leaks, theft and manipulation, without having a negative impact on development.
The platform automatically monitors source code for suspicious access, path and usage behaviors, and users receive alerts and notifications in case an issue is detected. Security teams can use Cycode to quickly adjust SCM configurations and security contro ..
