Cytix is an AI-powered application security testing platform designed to help development teams identify and address security risks introduced by code and workflow changes. The platform integrates with tools such as Jira, GitHub, GitLab, and Slack, and can be set up in under five minutes. The core functionality of Cytix revolves around two building blocks. First, it performs automated security reviews by reading development tickets, pull requests, merge requests, and change logs to assess whether a change introduces security risk. When a risk is identified, the platform explains the potential issue and generates a tailored testing plan for that specific change. Second, it produces "micro pentests" — tightly scoped penetration tests focused on a single development change and the specific vulnerabilities it may introduce. These tests are designed to be completed in as little as 45 minutes and are intended for use by human penetration testers rather than automated scanners alone. Cytix is positioned to detect vulnerabilities that automated scanners typically miss, including business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, broken access control, and API security issues, including OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. It also has limited support for cloud and infrastructure-as-code security. The platform is available in multiple deployment models: fully managed (where Cytix's own security team handles testing), self-managed (run in-house by the customer's team), or as a white-label offering for managed service providers. Cytix is a CREST-registered company, and its continuous micro-test reports can be used by customers to support compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. The platform targets development teams without dedicated security expertise, as well as enterprise environments with high ticket volumes.
