Nucleus & Cycode Integrate to Deliver Unified Vulnerability Management and Application Security

As modern enterprise IT environments become more complex, the need for robust cybersecurity measures continues to grow. Because of this expanding complexity, DevSecOps functions are more common, requiring the integration of security into the application development lifecycle. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) solutions offer a unified framework for securing the diverse application environment and merging security into the application development process.  

By integrating Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) into their unified vulnerability management strategy, teams will have coverage throughout their application lifecycle.  

For this reason, we’re excited to partner with Cycode. Together, we ensure that ASPM vulnerability findings are effectively managed, prioritized, and mitigated faster, with fewer resources, at scale. 

Filling the Void in Application Security 

Cycode’s scanning capabilities address a critical need in the current cybersecurity ecosystem, analyzing and securing the code that powers today’s businesses.  

“The integration of Cycode with Nucleus helps us connect enterprise security teams with their app development teams,” said Adam Dudley, Sr. Director of Strategic Initiatives & Alliances at Nucleus. “Closing the gap between these two teams helps security get more proactive addressing vulnerabilities, heading off potential problems more effectively.” 

This integration benefits cybersecurity and vulnerability management teams by: 

• Enabling the ability to reach directly into CI/CD development pipelines, providing actionable risk insights critical for safeguarding applications from ‘code to cloud.’ 

• Prioritizing risk with business context and threat intelligence, identifying the vulnerabilities that pose the most risk to the organization. 

• Building closer collaboration between security teams and application development groups, accelerating identification and resolution of vulnerabilities by combining custom risk scoring with ‘shift left’ best practices early in the development lifecycle. 

• Unifying security management by eliminating traditional silos that exist between application security and broader enterprise vulnerability management. 

According to Prasad Raman, Head of Strategic Alliances at Cycode, “By integrating Cycode’s application security insights with Nucleus’s vulnerability management capabilities, organizations gain a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. They can effectively bridge the gap between application-level vulnerabilities and enterprise-wide risk management, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.” 

Bridging the Security and Application Development Gap 

Our integration with Cycode facilitates closer collaboration between security teams and application development groups. By effectively prioritizing vulnerabilities with business and threat context, security teams become trusted collaborators in the development process. This approach not only accelerates identifying and resolving vulnerabilities; it also enhances the overall security posture by embedding best practices early in the development lifecycle. 

Incorporating Cycode’s insights into the Nucleus platform eliminates traditional silos that exist between application security and broader enterprise vulnerability management. This unified risk-based approach enables enterprises to effectively prioritize and mitigate vulnerabilities faster, at scale. 

A Call to Action: Embrace Enhanced Cybersecurity 

Leveraging the insights provided jointly by Nucleus and Cycode, organizations now can harness the combined strengths of ASPM and risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM). These insights ensure that both application-level vulnerabilities and enterprise-wide risks are managed with unprecedented speed and precision. 

“Integrating Cycode with Nucleus is a realization by both companies that RBVM and ASPM require expertise and focus on our respective domains,” said Seth Robins, CRO at Cycode. “We’re proud to provide our application security expertise to Nucleus customers and allow our customers to leverage best-of-breed software in both domains. Just as Cycode is focused on being the best-in-class ASPM, Nucleus is focused on being the best-in-class RBVM – like many others, neither of us are masquerading as something we’re not.”
