Company mission
Oak9's mission is to provide cloud computing developers with the tools needed to assure the cybersecurity of their infrastructure.
18% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Cloud computing has given birth to powerful SaaS capabilities, but with this have come difficult security challenges. DevOps teams have to manually code software infrastructure for each individual cloud integration, a process that is highly time-consuming and costs businesses enormous amounts of expenditure.
Oak9 provides an Infrastructure-as-Code platform for the development of cloud-based security software, facilitating rapid and automated security development, SDLC automation, dynamic compliance, automated remediation, and full architecture dashboards.
Whilst many companies are focussing on helping businesses to develop cloud-based infrastructure, Oak9 has taken the unique approach of providing Infrastructure-as-Code, reducing the amount of code that DevOps teams must manually create. Furthermore, the platform's features help to rapidly identify compliance and security gaps in cloud-native infrastructure, saving businesses further time and money whilst improving their infrastructural integrity.
