All-in-one AppSec platform that finds and auto-fixes vulnerabilities
SCA dependency scanning, SAST, AI code audit, secrets detection, license/SBOM generation, malware detection, and code quality in one pipeline.
AI filters false positives and generates fixes or pull requests, cutting triage time and shortening the path from finding to resolution.
CSPM for misconfigurations, IaC scanning, Kubernetes and container image scanning, VM insights, DSPM, and cloud attack-path mapping.
Continuous web/API testing, DAST, attack-surface mapping, and autonomous pentest agents that keep validating what is actually exploitable.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.
