Security checks alongside code changes

The platform tests pull requests and code updates using AI and attacker-style analysis. It looks for exploitable weaknesses beyond known vulnerability patterns and provides remediation assistance within the development process.

Building on security research

The team has disclosed vulnerabilities in widely used software, including OAuth2 Proxy, and performed testing for technology companies. New capital will expand the engineering and research team, accelerate product development and scale go-to-market activity.
