Overview

Konvu operates in the application security space, offering a suite of security solutions designed to be integrated directly into applications. Its core goal is to prevent vulnerabilities before code is deployed, aligning with modern software development practices where AI assists code generation, testing, and deployment. The product is built to fit into the software development lifecycle (DevSecOps) and focuses on vulnerability prevention, code security, and automated testing and deployment. Compared with competitors, Konvu emphasizes seamless integration and preemptive security measures tailored for AI-driven development, rather than relying on post-development scanning or manual fixes. With $5 million in funding, its aim is to advance its security solutions to support the shift in application security paradigms driven by AI-enabled development.

Konvu Selected as RSAC Launch Pad Finalist

Konvu selected as RSAC Launch Pad finalist. Lucas Masson 2026-02-18 Konvu has been selected as one of three finalists for RSAC Launch Pad at the RSAC 2026 Conference. On March 24 in San Francisco, Konvu Inc.'ll pitch its exploitability engine to a panel of top cybersecurity VCs in a Shark Tank-style format. Three startups, five minutes each, one winner. Three startups, five minutes, one stage at moscone. RSAC Launch Pad is the RSA Conference's competition for early-stage cybersecurity startups with bold ideas. Each year, RSA selects three finalists from a competitive applicant pool. Those three take the stage, pitch live to a panel of judges, and make their case in front of a packed audience of security professionals and investors. This year's judges are Sarah Guo of Conviction Partners, Barmak Meftah of Ballistic Ventures, and Enrique Salem of Bain Capital Ventures. Past Launch Pad finalists have collectively raised over $255M in funding. Two have been acquired, and two went on to compete in RSAC's Innovation Sandbox. The bet: exploitability is the missing layer. Security teams are buried under scanner output. Over 85% of flagged vulnerabilities turn out to be false positives, and the investigation work required to figure out which ones actually matter is crushing. AI is making it worse on both sides: more code, more dependencies, more findings, and attackers weaponizing new CVEs within days of publication. Konvu deploys AI agents that reason about whether a vulnerability is actually exploitable in your environment. Konvu Inc. model each vulnerability as a set of conditions, then verify those conditions against your code, configurations, and controls. The output is an evidence-backed verdict: exploitable, false positive, or inconclusive. When Konvu Inc. can't make the call automatically, Konvu Inc. tell you exactly what context is missing so your team can provide it and close the loop. Konvu Inc. is not replacing your scanners. Konvu Inc. plug into whatever you already run and add the exploitability layer on top. Your tools stay, your workflows stay, you just stop spending hours investigating findings that don't matter. I wrote about the full vision a few months ago if you want the longer story. Signals the problem resonates. A lot has happened in a short time. Earlier this week, Latio named Konvu a Supply Chain Innovator in their 2026 AppSec Market Report. James Berthoty called out Konvu for "combining all aspects of reachability with AI-based prioritization, resulting in some of the most robust false-positive reduction on the market." On the customer side, a fintech SaaS company with 2,000+ employees flagged 81% of their Snyk findings as false positives and saved 50+ hours per week on triage. That's developers building product instead of chasing alerts. Now the RSAC Launch Pad selection. These things are converging because the problem is obvious to anyone running a security program at scale, and the existing tooling isn't solving it. Meet Konvu Inc. in San Francisco at RSA Conference. Konvu Inc.'ll be at RSA Conference the week of March 24. If you want to meet the team or see a live demo, book a meeting. Can't make it to San Francisco? Book a demo and Konvu Inc.'ll walk through your own backlog.
