devOcean is the first SaaS platform to enable security teams to clearly see every risk in their cloud applications, providing an efficient and simple way to prioritize and remediate security vulnerabilities across all of an app’s layers
devOcean, the first and only platform for cloud native security operations, announced today its launch out of stealth as well as the completion of a $6 million seed financing round. The funding round was led by Glilot Capital Founders with participation from angel investors, including Former Google CISO Gerhard Eschellbeck, Amazon’s Head of Security Audit Adam Hirsch, and Dome9 Security founder and current Head of Cloud Products at Checkpoint, Zohar Alon, among others.

Cloud native applications are composed of multiple layers, with each layer having its own security issues which require unique, specialized security solutions. Additionally, each layer of an app is created and managed by a different development team within an organization. Taken together, this creates a multilayered and siloed environment, with a chaotic web of responsibilities, tools, and alerts. This becomes even more complex when combined with the lack of standardization in policies and infrastructures between public cloud providers.
The constant need to navigate this complex web in order to prioritize security issues and determine which team is responsible for resolving them is a significant cause of frustration for CISOs. In fact, the current best practice to prioritize and assign responsibility for fixing these issues is by manually going through each security tool and inputting every alert..
devOcean’s SaaS platform enables security teams to overcome these challenges by collecting security insights from all cloud and security tools, generating a single “pane of glass” that exposes each risk and its corresponding effect on every part of the cloud application. With an understanding of the most critical threats, security teams can prioritize risks and work alongside operations, product, and development teams to effectively install security policies, while enabling CISOs to accurately suggest which team is responsible for patching a vulnerability and fixing an issue. Additionally, devOcean’s platform provides recommendations on how to fix the vulnerability. CISOs and developers can even open tickets on the platform to assign tasks directly to the relevant team.

“devOcean is the first platform to create a dedicated cloud layer that is aimed at making order out of cloud application security chaos,” said Doron Naim, Co-founder and CEO of devOcean. “Security teams are looking for a way to synergize security tools in order to easily see and understand what parts of their cloud application the alert effects. devOcean was established as a solution to give CISOs and security teams the transparency they need to get a full understanding of security issues and how they affect the application as a whole while also providing insight into how, and who, is best to solve a particular issue.”
“With so much complexity in securing cloud native applications, organizations are attempting to build their own cloud native security management platforms at great cost and with limited success,” said Kobi Sambrousky, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Glilot Capital Partners. “To partner with a company on the cutting edge of cloud native security is incredibly exciting and we look forward to working closely with devOcean as it deploys a product that we anticipate will have immediate and immense market demand.”
