Silicon Valley cybersecurity startup Cyfendo launched its AI-powered application-security platform on October 15, 2026. Founded by former Google and Meta engineering leader Bryan Vuong, the platform aims to help smaller businesses analyze source code and evaluate potential vulnerabilities.
Platform Capabilities and Pricing
Cyfendo integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories, and allows developers to upload project files or work from the command line. The platform is designed to trace untrusted data, perform exploitability checks, and prepare code patches for developer review.
The company offers a free tier covering up to 10,000 protected lines of code and five monthly scans. Paid self-service subscriptions begin at $99 per month, adding automated patch generation and higher scanning allowances.
Context on AI-Enabled Threats
The launch follows findings from the Google Threat Intelligence Group in a September 8, 2026 report, which detailed an incident where an attacker used an AI framework to compromise thousands of third-party login credentials in under six hours.
Cyfendo's scan data indicates that the company averages four critical-severity issues per codebase, with approximately seven in ten findings rated high or critical.
