About the Company: Co-founded by CTO Ziv Sivan and CEO Giora Engel, Neosec provides a SaaS platform that unifies security and development teams to protect modern applications from threats. The platform establishes and constantly maintains a complete inventory of APIs in use and even generates missing documentation for previously unknown ones. Neosec audits the risk posture of all discovered APIs and identifies those transferring sensitive data. The platform reveals any discrepancies between existing API documentation and the parameters of the API. It then flags those APIs that are vulnerable or misconfigured and require fixing. Neosec automatically learns the baseline behavior of every API user and client, correlating and profiling for multiple entities, including users, customers, business processes, and partners. The company has R&D in Tel Aviv, Israel. Mark Anderson, former President of Palo Alto Networks, is also a founding investor and Chairman of the Neosec board.
