Factory today announced the launch of its Cyber Defense Network, an ecosystem of cybersecurity partners connected to Factory’s Security Factory platform. Founding partners include Snyk, Palo Alto Networks, Semgrep, Cogent, Casco, DepthFirst, Detail and others.

As AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, organizations face a growing challenge: fixing vulnerabilities fast enough. While security tools can identify risks, the engineering work required to investigate, remediate, test, and ship fixes remains a significant bottleneck.

The Cyber Defense Network addresses this gap by connecting security detection directly to autonomous remediation.

“Finding vulnerabilities is no longer the hardest part of cybersecurity. The challenge is fixing them quickly, safely, and at scale,” said Matan, CEO and Co-founder of Factory. “We’re bringing together the companies that identify security risks with Factory’s ability to autonomously remediate them, turning vulnerability remediation into a repeatable engineering capability.”

Connecting Security Intelligence to Autonomous Remediation

Through the Cyber Defense Network, partner security findings can flow directly into Security Factory, where AI-powered Droids investigate vulnerabilities, implement code changes, and validate fixes through testing.

The workflow has three stages:

  • Identify: Partners surface vulnerabilities and prioritized security findings.

  • Remediate: Factory’s AI-powered Droids investigate findings and implement code changes.

  • Validate: Droids test their changes to produce verified, merge-ready fixes.

Organizations can continue using their existing security solutions while accelerating remediation within their established engineering workflows and organizational policies.

The network reflects Factory’s vision for an open cybersecurity ecosystem where leading security companies work alongside autonomous software engineering agents to move organizations from identifying risk to resolving it.

“Security is most effective when it is integrated directly into the agentic development lifecycle. Snyk’s vulnerability intelligence and context guide Factory’s Droids to what matters most and verify the fix. That moves organizations beyond identifying risk toward resolving it faster, and makes security more actionable for engineering teams.” said Manoj Nair, CTO and Chief Innovation Officer, Snyk.

Factory plans to expand the network across additional security vendors, specialized cybersecurity innovators, and AI model providers.

The Next Chapter of Autonomous Cybersecurity

The Cyber Defense Network builds on Factory’s recently launched Security Factory product and marks a broader investment in autonomous cybersecurity.
