Our take
Endor Labs is one of the fastest-growing companies in application security, building tools for a world where software moves at breakneck speed. The platform protects both traditional and AI-generated code by combining deep analysis with automation, so teams can identify and fix vulnerabilities before they reach production.
Its impact is clear too. With the company now protecting over 5M applications and runs more than million scans weekly, serving customers like OpenAI, Rubrick, and major financial institutions. As AI-writen code introduces new risks, the platform helps teams stay fast while keeping security intact.
The company recently raised an oversubscribed $93M funding round, supported by DFJ Growth and Salesforce Ventures, to accelerate expansion of its AI-driven AppSec Platform. With this rapid growth and strong customer retention, Endor Labs is ready to position itself as a key security partner in the evolving, AI-powered software landscape.
