As \u201cvibe coding\u201d gains in popularity and tech companies push devs in their employ to embrace generative AI tools, a platform that scans for vulnerabilities in AI-generated code has raised a fresh round of funding.<\/p>\n
Ox Security<\/a>, which models risk across both AI- and human-produced code, on Wednesday announced that it closed a $60 million Series B. The round was led by DTCP with participation from IBM Ventures, Microsoft, Swisscom Ventures, Evolution Equity Partners, and Team8, and it brings Ox\u2019s total raised to $94 million. <\/p>\n Neatsun Ziv and Lior Arzi\u00a0founded New York- and Tel Aviv-based Ox in 2021. Software and IT engineers by trade, the pair met at Check Point, where they worked on the security firm\u2019s threat prevention product lines. <\/p>\n Ox\u2019s platform, which TechCrunch last profiled<\/a> in 2022, is aimed at both security teams and developers, offering tools to scan code in applications and secure a company\u2019s broader supply chain. Ox can model threats and even recommend fixes, assisting with code reviews and generating executive reports that highlight breaches and possible reasons they occurred. <\/p>\n \u201cOver the past year, AI has significantly transformed software development,\u201d Ziv told TechCrunchw. \u201cWhile these tools accelerate development for both experienced developers and beginners, they often lack the critical thinking and judgment needed to catch subtle security flaws \u2026 Ox frees up developers\u2019 time, allowing them to focus on innovation, while simultaneously improving the organization\u2019s overall security posture.\u201d<\/p>\n Ziv claims that Ox is analyzing over 100 million lines of code daily for around 200 customers, including eToro, SoFi, and two of its investors, Microsoft and IBM.<\/p>\n \u201cOur customer base spans from Fortune 10 companies to small- and medium-sized businesses,\u201d Ziv said. \u201cWe also count military and government entities as clients, as well as federal agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBerkeley, CA<\/span>
