Reinventing Secure Development Lifecycle

We are pioneers. We invented the industry-first Code Risk Platform™. A 360° view of security and compliance risks, from design to production, across applications, infrastructure, developers’ knowledge, and business impact.

The Founders

  • Idan Plotnik, CEO

    Idan is a serial entrepreneur and product strategist, bringing to Apiiro nearly 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. Previously, Idan was Director of Engineering at Microsoft following the acquisition of Aorato where he served as the founder and CEO.

  • Yonatan Eldar, VP R&D

    Yonatan is an expert in software development and methodologies, who brings to Apiiro more than 16 years of experience leading software teams across industries and technologies. Previously, Yonatan was Architect & Engineering Manager at Microsoft.

The Story

Reinventing Secure Development Lifecycle

As the owner of product risk for large engineering groups at Microsoft, Idan was responsible for prioritizing, remediating and communicating risk to upper management. He had a daily challenge in doing so because the existing security and compliance tools and processes are mostly manual and periodic, with a 'developers-last' approach. Yonatan, who led engineering teams at Microsoft, experienced holdbacks and slowdowns in product delivery, in order to integrate

controls and satisfy risk management demands. Idan and Yonatan realized that existing processes around secure SDLC, while well-established for waterfall methodology, don’t work with agile. Especially when developing applications and infrastructure across on-premises and multicloud. Together, they founded Apiiro to reinvent secure development lifecycle for modern, agile development teams and bridging the gap between CISOs & CIOs.

Since starting one year ago, Apiiro's platform is being used by some of the largest enterprises in the world to analyze the behavior of millions of developers, security architects and champions across 100K+ code repositories. Apiiro is more than just a platform but a complete reinvention of the secure development lifecycle.
