Despite Quantitative Tightening, Vcs Are Investing In Devops And Ai Security

DevOps shifts security left. “Architecture and development shifts create new opportunities for security,” says James Green, General Partner at CRV and a Forbes’ 30 under 30 honoree in 2022. The startups best positioned to land funding are those with defensible moats that usually go in hand with solving tough problems others haven’t addressed. One example is integrating security with DevOps, which empowers developers to prioritize security issues and expedite remediation. “Existing Source Code Analysis solutions are not sufficient,” Green notes. CRV’s investments in Project Discovery and Tailscale put security in the hands of developers, reducing silos and remediation time.The result of this cloudification of work is a diverse landscape of cybersecurity offerings extending protection from on-premises basics to newer terrain - developer and firmware environments, and even AI algorithms
