Overview

ZeroNorth’s platform centralizes and orchestrates disparate security scanning tools across the software development lifecycle, correlating and consolidating output to prioritize risk based on business context and integrate remediation into developer workflows. The product aims to bridge application security, development and security operations so organizations can scale application and infrastructure security without slowing DevOps. ZeroNorth says its platform speeds remediation through continuous development and reduces the resources required to run comprehensive software security programs while easing audit and compliance reporting. The company strengthened its leadership team with hires including CEO John Worrall, CFO Karen Higgins, CTO John Steven and VP of marketing Dave Howell. In 2019 ZeroNorth increased annual recurring revenue by more than 300% and doubled its customer base. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate growth by expanding engineering, customer support and sales. ZeroNorth provides an orchestrated risk management platform that continuously orchestrates the discovery and remediation of software and infrastructure vulnerabilities. Its mission-control orchestration platform enables organizations to build and manage an automated, consistent software security program that delivers board-level visibility into business risk, security, and continuous proof of compliance. Customers mentioned include Rodan & Fields, the University of Massachusetts and Zerto. The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate its focus on software and infrastructure risk management by strengthening research and development and investing in sales, marketing and services. Led by founder and CEO Ernesto DiGiambattista and based in Boston, the company emphasizes a cost-effective risk management program for enterprises. The company announced executive hires and board changes alongside the financing. Cybric provides a Continuous Security-as-a-Service platform that automates security checks at configurable intervals so teams can embed security into development without slowing velocity. The platform is compatible with developer tools like GitHub and Bitbucket and lets teams use their preferred scanning tools. Rather than scanning production code, Cybric creates a copy in the customer’s production environment, runs scans, deletes the copy, and notifies designated individuals via email, Slack, or PagerDuty if issues are found. The product includes a management dashboard that tracks how many issues were prevented from reaching production and shows security trends over time. Cybric does not enforce fixes; it surfaces actionable recommendations and records when teams bypass them. The company launched last year and made its platform generally available today. Cybric raised $6.3 million in seed funding last month, is based in Boston, and currently has 13 employees. Cybric provides a continuous security delivery fabric that virtualizes and automates cybersecurity scanning and remediation. Its platform runs scanning and remediation in parallel in an offline "shadow environment," offloading production systems and enabling real-time threat identification, isolation, and remediation with minimal human involvement. The company says this approach can reduce vulnerability identification and remediation time from months to minutes for both on-premises and cloud deployments. Cybric announced it closed $1.3 million in seed funding and will use the proceeds to accelerate research and product development. The founding team includes CEO Ernesto DiGiambattista, Chief Innovation Officer Mike Kail, COO Andrew Gilman, and Chief Design Officer Sean Walter, and the company lists Steve MacLellan as an advisor. Cybric positions its product to aggregate and automate disparate point security tools into a single policy-driven fabric to improve operational efficiency and standardized reporting.
