    CybeDefend

    CybeDefend

    CybeDefend

    Your AI agent ships thousands of lines a day, and most of them never get a real review. CybeDefend works inside the agent while it codes. One command installs VibeDefend on Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Codex and other agents. From then on the agent writes with your business rules in its context, mined automatically from your repo (tenant scoping, soft delete, audit on write), next to your security rules (OWASP, SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001). It scans each diff while the file is still open, and a guard refuses commands like rm -rf, sudo or a read of your secrets before they run. Behind it sits a full AppSec platform with SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, CI/CD and container scanning, plus AutoFix. The free plan needs no card and includes 10 static scans and 50 AI credits. Paid plans start at $19 a month. npx -y @cybedefend/vibedefend@latest install
