Our take
Qwiet AI, formerly ShiftLeft, helps developers working in Application Security sectors save time by implementing a code analysis platform. This analyses the flow of data and detects vulnerabilities within the software system being coded, so coders can get on with their jobs.
In the grind of the coding industry, Qwiet AI appreciates that due to time constraints and financial pressure, many software and DevOp sectors may make mistakes. Qwiet AI can analyze these mistakes and make sure that regardless of whether they are rectified, the systems will run smoothly.
Under its previous moniker, Qwiet AI focused on automated security testing. After receiving substantial funding in 2022 from Blackstone, Qwiet AI's rebrand symbolised a sharpening of vision and paved the way for what has been described as the first AI-powered code vulnerability platform for developers. Alongside its rebrand, a number of key executive hires also aided its leveling up and secured its foothold in the Ai security market.
