Don't miss pentest-worthy changes
Cytix finds risky tickets like logic flaws, and auth issues, then flags them for pentesting.
Book a Demo
Test your own development tickets
Drop in a real development ticket, or use of our examples, and Cytix will show you the kinds of vulnerabilities your change could introduce, based on what’s actually happening in the code.
How does Cytix work?
Cytix is three AI agents in one: the Analyst, the Architect, and the Engineer, handling the full workflow from development change to test plan.
The Analyst
Understands the change
- Collects the data
- Contextualises
- Summarises the change
The Architect
Identifies the risk
- Identifies potential vulnerabilities
- Describes their impact
- Flags them for testing
The Engineer
Takes the next step
- Assignes correct detection methods
- Describes testing actions
- Orchestrates scanners
Automation that improves everything downstream

Eliminates Human Error
Cytix does the analysis, not your team. No missed tickets, no skipped risks.
Reduces security incidents
Surface complex issues like business logic flaws early, the kinds that scanners often miss entirely.
Faster response time
Test plans are built automatically, giving teams the info they need with seconds.

Smarter test scoping
Recommend the right level of testing for each change, so the effort matches the risk, removing guesswork.
Cytix fits into your existing workflow seamlessly
"Cytix flagged risks that our existing process missed, giving us clearer test plans and better coverage from the start. It’s now a key part of how we approach security testing"
Scott Wilson, Head of Information Security, Protas

Cytix FAQ’s
Speak to salesIs Cytix a vulnerability scanner?
Cytix isn’t a vulnerability scanner, or a Pentesting-as-a-Service (PTaaS) software.
Cytix acts as an orchestration layer that determines the appropriate testing methods for every development change. This means the platform creates unique testing plans that includes both automated scanners as well as manual/ human penetration testing, depending on what is deemed most appropriate for a given change.
The platform works with your existing testing suite, rather than replacing it.
What does Cytix mean by ‘threat modelling’?
Cytix threat models live development tickets to create a list of vulnerabilities that have the potential to be present within the application. The platform does this by analysing connected development tickets or pull requests.
Using this information, unique testing plans are created for each potential vulnerability. Each testing plan recommends the unique testing method that is guaranteed in detecting that particular vulnerability.
Threat modelling refers to the specific list of potential vulnerabilities, but it doesn’t determine the threat of these vulnerabilities due to the unique nuances that can determine the severity range.
Does Cytix just take development tickets or does it take pull requests?
Cytix can take any natural-language (human readable) source of information. This is typically development tickets but may also be pull requests, merge requests, change logs or other sources.
What are micro pentests?
Micro pentests are a single unit of penetration testing; a hyperfocused scope that describes testing a specific area of an application for a particular set of vulnerabilities.
It replaces the need to blanket test a whole system / application when a specific development change has been made. They can take as little as 45 minutes to complete.
They are often included in Cytix-created testing plans when automated scanners aren’t suitable in detecting the predicted vulnerability that’s been introduced.
Micro pentests can be carried out in one of three ways:
- By a customer’s internal pentesting / security engineering function
- By one of Cytix’s existing testing partners
- By the Cytix CREST accredited managed penetration testing service.
Is Cytix just for AppSec?
Yes, Cytix is mainly suitable for AppSec testing programmes. Although it does also have limited support for cloud and infrastrucure-as-code.
Do you support mobile and APIs?
While Cytix specialises in web applications, the platform does also support mobile applications and APIs.
