BluBracket Introduces First Comprehensive Security Solution for Code in a Software-Driven WorldBluBracket, the leader in securing code for the enterprise, today introduced its product suite, representing the industry's first comprehensive security solution for code in the enterprise. As a testament to its early technical lead in an important new category, BluBracket has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox Contest, an annual competition featuring the year's most innovative and promising cybersecurity startups. "Just as we've seen hackers exploit tools like email, they are now exploiting code and code sharing tools like GitHub. For many companies their intellectual property is now encased within code, not documents. Until now there hasn't been a tool to secure code that doesn't interfere with developers' productivity," said Prakash Linga, CEO of BluBracket. "We are thrilled that we've already been named as an innovator by the 2020 RSAC Sandbox committee. We believe our technology, team and customers put us ahead in an important category, and we look forward to solving this critical need for our customers." Additionally, BluBracket has raised a $6.5 million seed round lead by Unusual Ventures, with participation by Point72 Ventures, SignalFire and Firebolt Ventures. "Code is more valuable and distributed than ever, yet the tools used for cloud-native, modern software development don't have the insight or control today's enterprise demands," said John Vrionis, founder and partner at Unusual Ventures. "At Unusual, we look for authentic founders who drive innovation through technology. When we saw the BluBracket vision, combined with the team's experience, our decision was an easy one. We look forward to accelerating their vision to transform this important new category in cybersecurity." The critical need for code security. BluBracket secures today's most valuable and vulnerable enterprise asset-code. The world now runs on software. BluBracket makes it safe. Today's digital environment is collaborative, open and complex-with developers using code management and sharing sites like GitHub and Stack Overflow and including open source in more than 90 percent of all new applications. Source (News - Alert) code is too valuable of an asset to leave exposed, with security and engineering teams having no visibility into where corporate code has been cloned, exposed or stolen. As this code makes it way to the cloud, security becomes even more challenging as hackers have noticed these coding environments are an open door into the enterprise, with scores of high-profile breaches stemming from code fromUber, AWS, Starbucks, Capital One (News - Alert) and many more. "Open source code and tools have taken over the software development lifecycle," said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation (News - Alert) and board member at BluBracket. "We've seen tremendous innovation driven by these changes, but we've also seen traditional models and tools struggle to keep up with the pace set by developers and devops. Code security that respects developers' productivity is a critical need for companies who see software as the foundation of their competitive advantage." BluBracket built for-and with-enterprise leaders. BluBracket has partnered with dozens of CISOs and CTOs over the last year to design its product suite, giving it an advantage born from real-world expertise. These companies represent a cross section of industries including financial services, transportation, entertainment and media, and travel and hospitality.
Introducing the BluBracket Code Security Suite. According to IDC, the devops tools market is forecast to reach $15 billion in 2023, driven by continued enterprise adoption of highly automated CI/CD, infrastructure provisioning and DevSecOps. These innovations have been a boon for speed and innovation, but they weren't designed for security and security teams have scrambled to adjust. BluBracket combines deep expertise in enterprise security with innovative and developer-friendly technology. Its BluBracket:CodeInsights and BluBracket:CodeSecure products give companies the key to unlock software innovation while protecting their enterprise infrastructure and valuable intellectual property. With BluBracket, companies for the first time can:
