In this new wave of software supply chain attacks that preyed on SolarWinds, Codecov, and thousands of other companies, attackers are taking advantage of the high complexity and low security within new modern software development environments to exploit and cause massive damage, not only to the attacked company, but to their thousands of customers. Over the past few years, most companies that develop code have adopted continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) processes to automate their software development, allowing them to expedite their software and feature releases and maintain a competitive advantage over their markets. This has made them a target for supply chain attacks.
“Argon’s solution enables companies to secure their software supply chain against the risks of supply chain attacks effectively,” said Eran Orzel, Argon’s chief revenue and customer officer. “Our unique and in-depth security technology allows us to cross-check and validate actions across the pipeline and prevent damage to the company’s infrastructure, code or application from supply chain attacks. Such consolidated multi-layer coverage is not available in the market under a single solution.”
The Integrity™ announcement comes only a few months after raising more than $4 million (USD) in seed funding led by Hyperwise Ventures and several high-profile cybersecurity angel investors, including Shlomo Kramer, the founder of Check Point, Imperva, and Cato Networks; Zohar Alon, Founder of Dome9; the announcement indicates the fast pace of innovation required in this market.
