Archipelo provides a Developer Security Posture Management (DevSPM) platform designed to observe and monitor developer activity to secure both human-written and AI-generated code before vulnerabilities reach production. The company says its product surfaces risks from AI coding tools and AI agents as well as traditional human error, addressing a gap it identified in developer-focused security tooling. Archipelo emerged from stealth with enterprise deployments underway; customers include Fortune 500 organizations in banking, healthcare, and defense, though names were not disclosed. The startup positions itself against cloud-to-code security vendors such as Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Cloud), Wiz, Microsoft Defender, GitHub, GitLab, Snyk, Checkmarx, and Veracode while claiming to distinctively put the developer (human or AI) under the microscope. Archipelo plans to use its recent funding for product expansion and go-to-market efforts as it continues deployments with large enterprises.
