Factory launches Cyber Defense Network to automate vulnerability fixes

Factory introduced the Cyber Defense Network on November 12, 2026, linking security vendors like Snyk and Palo Alto Networks to its Security Factory platform so AI agents can triage, fix and validate vulnerabilities.

Factory launched the Cyber Defense Network on November 12, 2026, an ecosystem that connects cybersecurity vendors to its Security Factory platform so that Factory Droids, the company's AI coding agents, can automatically triage, fix and validate vulnerabilities flagged by partner security tools, according to Launching Factory's Cyber Defense Network.

What Factory announced

Founding partners in the Cyber Defense Network include Snyk, Palo Alto Networks, Semgrep, Cogent, Casco, DepthFirst and Detail, among others.
The network feeds partner security findings directly into Security Factory for investigation and remediation.
Factory Droids investigate vulnerabilities, implement code changes and validate the fixes through testing.
The workflow runs in three stages: signal detection from security partners, triage by Factory Droids to identify reachable vulnerabilities, and continuous remediation.
Organizations can keep their existing security tools and engineering workflows while automating remediation through the network.
The Cyber Defense Network builds on Security Factory, Factory's product that launched on November 10, 2026.

What it means for people who build with AI

Because findings from widely used scanners such as Snyk and Palo Alto Networks can now be triaged and fixed automatically by Factory's coding agents, teams that already rely on Factory Droids see their security workflow change: the bottleneck moves away from finding vulnerabilities and toward fixing them quickly, safely and at scale. Factory CEO and co-founder Matan Grinberg said finding vulnerabilities is no longer the hardest part of cybersecurity, and that the challenge is fixing them quickly, safely and at scale.

What's next

Factory plans to expand the Cyber Defense Network to additional cybersecurity vendors and model providers. Factory was founded in 2023 by Matan Grinberg and Eno Reyes, is headquartered in San Francisco, and counts Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, Nvidia and J.P. Morgan among its investors.
