A cloud-based application security assessment (or ASA) is a systematic evaluation to identify vulnerabilities and improve security in cloud applications. It aims to ensure the application’s structural, design, and operational integrity against all cyber threats. A staggering 82% of data breaches in 2023 involved data stored in the cloud.

Today at RSA Conference 2024, Mend.io and Sysdig unveiled a joint solution targeted at helping developers, DevOps, and security teams accelerate secure software delivery from development to deployment. The integration incorporates the exchange of runtime insights and application ownership context between Sysdig Secure and Mend Container to provide users with superior, end-to-end, and risk-based vulnerability prioritization and remediation across development and production environments.

Despite organizations’ best efforts, security threats are on the rise, with malicious actors continuously evolving their tactics. Unfortunately, the situation is only intensifying as hackers from all walks of life leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. To combat these threats, security teams need to implement gates and controls throughout their entire software development lifecycle.

TL;DR we raised a lot of money and we’re ready to go big. We've raised $17M to bring “no BS” security to devs. We’re happy to welcome Henri Tilloy from Singular.vc on board, who is again joined by Notion Capital and Connect Ventures. This round comes just 6 months after we raised $5.3M in seed funding. That’s fast.

Application security is vital for ensuring the resilience of organizations, as it encompasses measures and practices that safeguard applications against potential threats and vulnerabilities. It plays a critical role in safeguarding sensitive data, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining the integrity and availability of applications.
