Cybersecurity reviews with Cyber
Review repository security, investigate findings, and verify remediation with Gyroscape Cyber.

Start with a defined security question
Open the project you want to review and create a task. Name the repository area, branch changes, files, or behavior in scope. Include the intended access rules and any existing security findings that matter to the review.
For an initial investigation, ask for findings before changes. This gives you a chance to assess the evidence and choose the remediation work.
Review the authentication and authorization changes on this branch.
Trace access checks from the request handler to the data access layer.
Report potential issues with file locations, impact, and supporting evidence.
Do not modify files yet.A scoped repository security review.
Investigate the evidence
Ask Cyber to explain how each potential issue follows from the code and what conditions are needed for it to matter. Check the relevant callers, validation, access checks, configuration, and tests before treating a finding as confirmed.
Keep confirmed behavior, assumptions, and unresolved questions separate. Review the impact in the context of how your application is actually used.
Turn a finding into a focused fix
Select the finding you want addressed and ask Gyroscape to prepare a patch. Describe the behavior that must remain unchanged and the checks you expect. Keep the scope small enough to inspect the resulting diff.
GyroThink 1.5 Pro can support the investigation and remediation through the file, terminal, and testing tools available to the project.
Verify and hand off
Run the affected tests and a focused regression check for the issue. Review the patch with the original finding and record what was tested, what passed, and anything that still needs follow-up.
Keep the findings, changes, and verification results in the same task so another reviewer can follow the work from the security question to the final diff.
